I'm running 2003 server with IIS6 and i have 1 web site on the box and that
will be the only one. How can I make it the default web site so when the user
enters

http://servername they see the web site without having to type
http://servername/website

You have to point the web site root at that physical path. So if you have
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website, you need to make that the root path - but why
not just copy the files in "website" up to "wwwroot"?
