The extension shtml means the pages use server side includes. You can find
their names in code view, look out (or search) for something like
<!--#include virtual="

You say you DOWNLOADED the site. If you download pages through a web browser
you won't get any reference to SSIs so you need to download the files using
FTP. If so, you should be able to locate the paths as above.
