"Access forbidden" when creating a new ASP.NET project

[Patrick Spence]

VS.NET 2003 v 7.1.3088
..NET Framework v1.1.4322
XP Pro
IIS 5.0

When I try to create a ASP.NET application, I get the following error...

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http://localhost/webApp2'. 'HTTP/1.1 403 Access Forbidden'

BTW, this problem seems to have raised it's head after I uninstalled an
earlier version of .NET, and it only happens when creating a new web app.
Sounds suspiciously like problem with rights or permissions.

Ideas anyone?
