Well Dio... 
A little bit of basics...... See once u start a web project the files are
put into a physical path "c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/<Project Folder>, This is
because the IIS(Internet Information Server) is the one which actually
maintains all the websites of a concern and this IIS is configures into that
folder and some files need (Like Bin Directory etc, a folder in InetPub) for
this IIS are stored in corresponding folders under the same root. 

If in case ur "C:/" drive is full and u want to change the root directory to
some other drive then u have to copy the folder called "InetPub from the
"c:/" drive and copy it into another folder and go to IIS and then right
click on default website and click on properties and change the folder path
to where u have copied.... 

The is by default stores all the website only in the "Inetpub/wwwroot" what
windows offer u and u cannot have ur project under any folder and make it
work, because the associated files to run the web project are present only
in those folders. 

Read some thing on IIS and this will solve the problem......

Keep me osted if u have any problem......cheers

Subject: [aspx_professional] Access denied to <site path>


I recently just installed MS.net and I have permission problems. I am 
using Windows 2000 server SP3. I have 'Everyone' and 'ASPNET' user 
permissions enabled in the site root.

The only way I could find to have a ".NET" web site running was putting 
the files in a folder under the "c:\inetpub\wwwroot" folder. 

Any help would be much appreciated...
