You have to register (make a new site) your folder in IIS.

1. open IIS
2. On your computername Rightclick and choose new>website
3. Follow the wizard. Give the site a name. Hit next 2 times and browse to your local folder where your files are in.
4. hit next 2 times and finish

Go stand on your newly created site and on the top hit the 'play' button.

See the files on the right. Rightclick on the desired file and choose browse.

That should do it.

Depending on the platform you're on step 2 might be different.
To one in the previous post is for a win2K.

For a XP platform you have to do something like.
Rightclick on the server choose virtual map and follow the wizzard.
