I received what seems to be good instructions on how to create
a ASP.NET project on a location other than INETPUB:

I created a virutal directory in wwwroot and pointed it to a folder "MyFolder" I created on the C: drive. I then pasted a default htm page in it, went to my browser and went to http:\\localhost\MyVirtualDirectoryName and voila the page was displayed. So I believe I did this part right.

I then went into .NET IDE to create a new project and typed in
http:\\localhost\MyVirtualDirectoryName\Project1 as the location.

I ended up with a error:

Web Access Error

"The default Web access mode for this projectis set to file share, but the folder at "Http://localhost/MyVirtualDirectory/Project1"
cannot be opened with the path "C:\Myfolder\Project1"

"Unable to create Web project "MyVirtualDirectory/Project1".
the UNC share "C:\Myfolder\Project1" doesnot exist or you do
not have access."


I made MyFolder as a share with permissions to all (Was not
logged on as administrator) with no change in results.

Any Clues?


Thanks
