Localhost on IIS7

By default, browsing to localhost on IIS7 brings up a welcome screen. To associate localhost with a particular web site, right-click the web site in IIS7 and select "Edit Bindings" (or just "Bindings", depending on which pane you were in when you right-clicked; IIS is still as inconsistent as ever!). In the "Add Site Binding" dialogue box, add localhost as a host name. Apply the changes. You will now be able to browse to localhost.
