3 Oct: Q&A;: Why do I get "Save this file to disk?" when running ASP?

Frode:

I've just started to use IIS 4 on my NT workstation. So here's my problem; I've installed an ASP site on the /ftproot but how do I preview in a browser. I only get "save file to disk", when trying to see what I'm actually working on, for instance default.asp.

Me:

Make sure your site is in a folder setup as a web site, and then access your site using http://localhost/sitename..

See here how to set up your folder correctly.
