Problem with .aspx file typespage when using URL: \\phoenix\cdrive\inetpub\wwwroot\hrworkshop\index.aspx It would start up notepad to edit the file. When I went to IIS and changed the default file to index.aspx, this made it work fine. At home using our vpn, we are now having the same problem - my machine starts up notepad to edit the file from IE. My bosses machine starts VS 2003 to open index.aspx. How do we tell our home machines not to open the file but send it to the IIS server at work? Thanks, Tom Tom,
IE looks at \\phoenix\... and determines that it is a UNC (share drive) and switches to Windows Explorer mode... which just opens the file using notepad (I bet it asked what program to use to open the file). Try http://phoenix/hrworkshop/index.aspx You may or may not need to setup hrworkshop as a true virtual directory. If you haven't done anything to configure the webserver then hrworkshop is probably just a subdirectory (and not a virtual directory).

The workstations at work don't have this behavior. I assume that somewhere on my drive it is saying run a particular program to open this type of file - which is not the same at work. You mention switching to Windows Explorer mode. Where would that be defined?

The switch to Windows Explorer mode is "just the way IE works". Here's what I mean... first "windows explorer": 1. Start->My Computer, click on C: -> this is windows explorer Now "IE": 1. Start->All Programs->Internet Explorer (home page loads) 2. In the address bar type "c:\" and press enter 3. Viola... IE has "become" a "Windows Explorer" Does that make what I meant by "windows explorer" mode clearer? You can't deliver a webbased application via a shared drive. Shared drives are for delivering raw file contents... and .ASPX files need to be processed by a webserver to produce the final output. This means you have to deliver the webapplication via IIS... so on your Phoenix server you have to be running IIS, it has to be configured to execute .NET webapplications, and it has to have your webapplication installed on it. Does that make sense?

And if my XP at work didn't open the page as a normal Web page, that would make sense. But why is may machine at work opening it as a web page. Why doesn't it open it in edit mode (Windows Explorer mode)? That is what is confusing. I always thought the same thing as you until this happened. My boss has been asking this and I am trying to get an answer for him.
