ASP .NET web apps/service in VS.NET won't let me name the project?

well I just installed IIS but like the subject line says, C# and VB ASP web projects dont allow me to change the project name and im stuck with the 'WebApplication1'. the documentation says I should be able to rename them. anyone know why?

I'm not sure if this is related, but I recall reading when I installed VS.NET that you need to have IIS installed before you install Visual Studio. Otherwise, VS won't find it and configure all the hooks.

As for renaming, in the Solution Explorer window, you should be able to just right-click on things to rename them. Does this not work for you?

yes and no. when I create an ASP web application it saves it in the default location with the default name which is WebApplication1. This now appears in the IIS(http://localhost/WebApplication1) list under web sites->Default web sites. Another folder is also created in mydocuments->visual studio with the same name.

I can change any of the names in solution explorer but this just changes the names of the files in the project, the folder names which appear in the IIS list and mydocuments->visual studio folder have to be changed manually. there should just be a way to name the project when you create it.

When you create a new project, there are text fields for its name and location. I don't know how to get back to that point once it's been created, though.

ya that's my whole point, on that new project screen it wont allow me to rename it when creatng ASP .NET web apps and services.
