On a standard 2000Pro install, when you add PWS, you can use the personal web manager
to manage the web site.
Unfortunately, PWM is a piece of garbage.
What you want to try is this:
Click start-->run
Start a blank MMC by typing in MMC. Click OK.
When open, click Console --> Add/Remove Snap-In
Make sure the drop-down says Local Console.
Click the Add button.
A list of all installed snap-ins comes up. Scroll through for Internet Information
Services.
Click it once, then click Add.
click Close.
Click Close to close the add snap-in window.
Now you can go to the properties of your web site, the home directory tab,
configuration button to set up PHP. I did this on my own laptop. I have 2000Pro
installed, with PWS installed. I set up PHP on it about 8 hours ago, so I know what
you are having to do.
IF it works for you, when you are done, click Console-->Save As to save the MMC
console as your own IIS management tool.
Hope this helps too.
That should do it
