iis root folder

Hello, just set up a home server using my laptop and iis5, would like to
know if it is important to have my site files in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot or can I
just give a directory on my D drive?

should I delete all the default files in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot when I first
installed iis? They seem to come back when the computer restart.

why is windows putting the "Printer folder" in my web site directory.
Tried to delete it but it comes back when restarting the computer.

many thanks

Molecule

going to sleep, bit late here, thanks in advance for the answers

The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away
most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say
anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I
mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of
babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have
learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True,
these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for
granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes
forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these
things more difficult. If I had known that this was your case then I would
have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of
like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the
emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on
you.

No.

Yes.

I assume you know how to do this IIS Manager, <Server Name> , Web
Sites , Default Web Site , Home Directory , Local Path.

I don't.

It was absolutely not my intention to post anything remotely offensive or
annoying,
I said that I was going to sleep only beacause I would have not replyed to
any posts,
that could have been seen as posting and not bothering to participate.
My ability to write, spell and count is not the best I admit but remember
that we are not all borne in an
English speaking country.
"Bunch of insults"? Don't make me laugh.
I very much appreciate all the help I got over the years from these
newsgroups, these were just simple questions,
I did not really want users to read a book.
Chill out.
