The following requests keep turning up in my apache log files:
/www/error/web/scripts/..%5c%5c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe
/www/error/web/prxjdg.cgi
/www/error/web/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/fp30reg.dll
Am I right in thinking this an attempt to hack my server or could it be something else?

i get this every once in awhile, this hacker or hackers is atempting to find the frontpage extension on your server, there is or was a vulernability in the frontpage extension that allows full access to the server, if you have the frontpage extension uninstall it, otherwise, don't worry about it

It's traditional to call those who maliciously attack your computer crackers rather than hackers. In this case, however, I agree with ShrineDesigns that it is probably script kiddies scanning for vulnerabilities, i.e. trying to find known insecure scripts on a large number of servers. As long as you don't run any old scripts and keep your webserver patched (or someone does it for you) I wouldn't worry about it.
