How do I change my Security Settings to allow me to do this?

Question

Okay, I am a student. My assignment is to create A Web Application Project. 

I am using VB.Net. I click file on the menu bar, then new, then project. When the New Project Dialog box opens I select Visual Basic Project and ASP.NET Web Application. In the location field, I type in the location the book says to type in. 

Now The Problem, As soon as I click OK, I get an error messages.

The web server reported the following error when attempting to create or open the Web Project located at the following URL. http://localhost/Chapter6/Tutorials/WebApplication1 HTTP: /1.1 403 Access Forbidden. 

I click on the help menu and it states for me to contact the system administrator, doh, that is me. 

So, I need to do my homework and I cannot :(
Please if there is anyone out there that can help me resolve this, I would be very appreciative. 

peace,

I know nothing about VB.net, but Google and I are pretty tight:

If you get a 403 error message, then it's probably because you don't have permission to execute the ASP.NET code contained within the page....

As you'll recall, permissions are controlled by the properties of the virtual directory that contains the ASP.NET page. To change these properties, you'll need to start up the IIS admin snap-in in the MMC, as we described earlier in the chapter. Find the BegASP.NET virtual directory in the left pane, right-click on it and select Properties....

Hope you can find some help in there or in the link above.
