I would like to start learning ASP.NET on a for-fun project. I’m hoping to setup a local server to do my development on, but I don’t want to pollute my user account with a webserver, database, and developer tools.

I’m using Vista Home Premium as my desktop OS. Is it possible to setup a separate user in vista and contain all the developer stuff inside it? (Keep sql server, IIS, and Visual Studio separate so they don’t run when I’m not doing development work)

If this isn’t possible can someone suggest a good alternative?

  1. I personally don’t see any benefits of creating a separate user for this. There’s a webdevserver bundled with VS for development use. This only runs when you start it. And VS itself doesn’t do anything unless you are using it…

    SQL Server can be set to be started manually.

    If you’re just getting started, check out the express editions of visual web developer and sql server.
