In IE7 Tools | Internet Options | Security | Local Intranet | Sites | Advanced and add localhost to the list.

From BillS’ IIS Blog, FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) for IIS7 RC0 have been released. I still haven’t upgraded any of my PCs to Vista yet, but this gets me one step closer. The other thing that needs to happen before I upgrade is that the Vista team has to fix the crash that happens when […]
