Romi:
Microsoft does not support or endorse IIS running on Win XP Home. There are several people who have figured out a hack to make this work though. If you google:
IIS "windows XP home"
the first several hits will talk about the registry changes and processes to do this.

A much better solution though would be to install Cassini:

Or if you'll be working with ASP.NET 2.0, install Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition (free) and use it's built in web server.
