I have a website running off of IIS 7.5, one of the sub folders in the root directory has a default.aspx page that I would like to be displayed whenever someone navigates to said sub folder (e.g <a href="http://www.mainsite.com/subfolder" rel="ugc">www.mainsite.com/subfolder</a>&nbsp;) However instead of the default.aspx page being displayed the user is presented with a 404 page cannot be found error page. <br />
<br />
The default.aspx page has been added to the default page's property page and has even been moved to the top of the list. Is there something else that needs to be configured so that the default.aspx page I want to display is displayed? Do I need to convert this sub folder into an application in order to get this functionality?

IIS 7.5 &amp; default.aspx pages

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
