Start local Web server

Starts the IIS web server by default if you are performing a full installation for stand-alone development.

If you do not have IIS or you do not want the IIS web server to start automatically when you launch Developer Studio, you can uncheck the Start local Web server option. Even if this option is not unchecked and you use another web server (such as Apache, WebSphere, and others) instead of IIS, you will be able to use the servers based on your configuration.

This option will be enhanced to allow developers to select which web server or application server to start when launching their desktop application.

Default file editor

Lists file editor options, such as:

• Edit in Developer Studio tool
• Edit in Text Editor
• Edit in Windows registered tool

Note: The option above is only visible if the file type you are accessing has been associated with a Windows application.

The file editor used determines which context menu options will be available and controls the default behavior for double-clicking and right-clicking files.
