Hi,

I'm using the Visual Studio Development Server, with a specific port. Is there a way to add a virtual directory to it?

EDIT:

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I'd like to be able to add one or more virtual directories to arbitrary physical directories. For instance: http://localhost/c_drive/ would map to C:\, http://localhost:/d_drive/ would map to D:\, etc.
