Re: Default image location

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Saya,
after creating a virtual directory which points to the image directory
your inetpub/wwwroot/images directory will still be available from the URL
i.e. http://ip/images

The virtual directory is just like a desktop shortcut for a file, it just
points to somewhere else like Ignacip said, so you could create a virtual
directory in IIS Admin called MyVirtualImageDirectory which was actually
pointing to somewhere like c:\myfiles\images

you will then access http://ip/MyVirtualImagesDirectory which will cause the
server to fetch items from the location on disk.

You can have as many virtual directories as you want at any level of the
naming tree, as well as leaving your old images directory in place if you
want.

Hope that helps.
Mark.
