This is to create a virtual directory for development of an ASP.Net application on a Win XP Pro box:

right click on 'My Computer',
select 'Manage'.

in the Computer Management console:
Expand the tree to 'Services and Applications' > 'Internet Information Services' > 'Web Sites' > 'Default Web Site' .

Right click on 'Default Web Site',
select 'New' > 'Virtual Directory'.

The 'Virtual Directory Creation Wizzard' pops up.
Select 'Next',
Type in your alias(if you want //localhost/ProjectX to be the URI, put in 'ProjectX'),
select 'Next',
Click 'Browse', and find the directory where you want your content to come from,
Click 'Next',
Make sure only the first two checkboxes are selected ('Read' and 'Run scripts'(Such as ASP))
Click 'Next'.
Click 'Finish'.

Now you should see a virtual directory in the MMC that is 'ProjectX'.

Open Visual Studio.
Create a new Project.
In the Location address bar, type in 'http://localhost/ProjectX'

And off you go.
