Thankyou Mr. Schaefer
so then then security (where a browser can go, and what they can access) in
IIS (the website in it) is automaticaly added and configured, without my
adjusting anything. online users could not actually visit my website (when
it's actualy built) and then view the rest of my drive or folders. correct
me if im wrong. and my drives are NTFS formats.
