Request for quick tutorial on setting up page error messages on IIS

Is there a fast and foolproof way?

[Webwork]

I guess I can go out into the search engine world and try to find the answer but, fool that I am, I've grown to trust the input/information that I get in response to posts here at WebmasterWorld. ;)

FYI - I'm the barely capable admin of a few Win2K servers and I've never messed with error pages, but I have whatever level of access I'd need to set them up.

Is this a relatively simple process? Just write something up in NotePad and insert it into an existing Error message file? How would I add an image file with a hyperlink to an error page(if that's a good idea)?

Are there bad ideas when it comes to crafting custom error pages?

Are there good ideas or approaches?

At this stage I don't even know where the files for error message pages are stored on the server. Like I said, new issue for me.

Many thanks, as always.

Looks easy enough:

• Use a text editor or an HTML editor to create a custom page
  
• Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Internet Services Manager
  
• Click "+" to the left of the server name
  
• Right click on "Default Web Server"
  
• Click to open "Properties"
  
• Click "Custom Errors" tab
  
• Scroll to and click the HTTP Error I want to assign the custom message to
  
• Click "Edit Properties"
  
• Browse to the custom file I created
  
• Click OK
  
• Click OK to clear out the dialogue boxes
  
• Close IIS window
  

Okay, time to play around. Think I'll mock up a test page in MS FP. Upload the file/page via standard MS FP file upload (make it part of a website) then simply move the file to the same directory as the existing error pages and link to it.

Ta-da!

Feel free to show me the errors of my ways. ;)
