Just a quick question or two...
Hi,

I'm a website developer (Obviously :P) and I'm using IIS locally to test and debug my website before I upload it.

Since I'm not constantly developing websites and whatnot, I dislike having my system resources bogged up by IIS all the time.

I was wondering if I could create a second account on my WinXP (No Service Packs) machine that has IIS running, but not on the other.

(Can I start the IIS service on one account, and not on the other?)

Thanks for the help.

I don't think so, but why not just set the www service to a manual startup, and start it just when you want to use it.

I leave IIS running on my XP constantly and don't notice any drag on the system.

I agree with Doug - I've never noticed any degradation in performance and I'd live with a slight drag just for the sake of one less thing to remember. You could always set-up a comple of DOS batch files with a shortcut on the desktop:
Code:
REM StopIIS.bat
iisreset /stop
 
REM StartIIS.bat
iisreset /start

If I've posted some code above, you might think it looks a bit simplistic. It might be. I'd rather people tried the next step themselves rather than getting a full solution on a plate. That way they learn more!
