hi i have install everything and when localhost to see the default page, i kept on having being ask to key in my password. I am already a administrator when i install what i need to installed to run aspx.
I key in my local comp username and password but still fail.
In IIS, you can right click on either the Website, or any virtual directory under a website and bring up the properties page. Under the 'Directory Security' tab, click the Edit button under 'Anonymous Access and Authentication Control'. This will bring
up a window where you can configure the authentication method for your website. To stop it from asking for a password, make sure that Anonymous Access is selected. The username should look like this - IUSR_YOURPCNAME, and you should let IIS control the password. You
should still be able to leave Windows Authentication selected as well, but to be certain it will not ask for a password you can also uncheck that box.
Hope this helps.

Turn off Windows Authentication, test with a Hello World HTML file. Check www.iis.net for help with configuring IIS.

wait....i got confuse. Altering the web.config files can be done when you create one in visual studio right?
I am wanting to test that my IIS can actually run asp.net pages.
I don't get it when you mention altering the web.config files.....???
When i localhost, it should be pointing to the localstart.asp isn't it. And there is where i bum into the system asking me for password.
I have actually remove the windows authtentication. By right click the default website on my IIS managemenet console.
Please further advice.
