Hi

IIS cannot be installed on XP Home Edition - never mind what X internet page says. If you follow those details you will probably end up with a non-working XP hard disk/partition. To use IIS you will have to either upgrade to XP Pro or use a 3rd party program such as Apache - www.apache.org

Sysof.inf is a hidden file in a hidden folder. If you lack the
basic skill set to use Windows Explorer, you're probably going to get
in way over your head when you try to apply a "kluge" solution to the
OS. I hope you keep your backups up-to-date.

IIS is _not_ supported on WinXP Home. If you really need it,
upgrade to WinXP Pro.

I hate to rain on your parade, but how do you expect to land a job
creating/administering a web site and/or server, if you haven't the
first clue about IIS's operating system requirements? Maybe you
should set your sights a bit lower and aim for an entry level job
until you've more knowledge and experience under your belt.

Remeinds of a woman that came into Yahoo Chat one day asking us to
teach her DOS. She had just got hired at a new company by telling them
that she knew DOS. I doubt she had that job very long.
