4. Right click on Default Web Site
5. Select "New"
6. Select "Virtual Directory ..."
7. Wizard will come up to create a new virtual directory
8. First question
This wizard will help you create a new virtual Directory on this Web Site

9. Select Next
10. Enter in the Alias name;
i.e., scripts10b

11. Enter or browse the location of where this directory physically exist on the server
i.e., C:\Inetpub\scripts10b

12. Ensure that the directory has at the least
Read
Run scripts
Execute
