Ah ha!

While I love developing local then uploading to the server when everything
is up to snuff, I run into issue not really related to this post because
coldfusion built webserver sucks ass and I don't use it. It's about as much
fun to configure as apache, restarting everytime you make a changing to the
config files.

The thing I run into with IIS is the fact that you can only run 1 site. You
can only setup one site for that matter, then the need to change the home
directory every time you witch sites to work on something locally. After
seeing this post and figuring peeps hate this as much as I do, found what I
was looking for when running IIS on Windows XP.

This little puppy allows you to create multiple sites in IIS on an XP box.
You can only run one site at a time but who cares about that.

Icon sits in the icon bar that allows you to switch sites with the double
click of your mouse.

Use this utility to create a new site for each project and everything is
good to go. There is one thing you need to do though before hitting your
coldfusion pages for the first time. It only adds a default.aspx file or
something to the documents list. You can go into the site in IIS like your
normally would and add a default.cfm or whatever and BAM. Good to go.

Sweet!
