F:\Old_E\My Webs\Wizard\Test_Siteand url is

copy the folder (where all your web pages are stored) to:

E.g.
webFolder

C:\InetPub\wwwroot\webFolder

don't forget to use DEFAULT.ASP

then, open your IE browser and the type following

localhost/webFolder or

localhost/webFolder/default.asp

Thanks micah....will try it tomorrow at work. Couple other stoopid questions:
My folder is called wizard, so will it be:
C:\InetPub\wwwroot\webFolder\wizard (using your example)
or
C:\InetPub\wwwroot\wizard
Secondly - do i then edit from my site directory or this one? And lastly, I assue Put is still reserved for the final load?
Thanks loads.

it should be:

C:\InetPub\wwwroot\wizard

you can rename the "WIZARD" folder or use any folder as long as you put them under

C:\InetPub\wwwRoot

by the way, you're very much welcome!

Good luck!
