Help - I've forgotten how to set up a new website

Hi - I'm trying to set up a new local website. I'm using FP 2000, IIS, and XP Pro. Although I've done it in the distant past before, someone talked me through it then and I've completely forgot the procedure (I'm really just a designer and know next to nothing about things like IIS). I just tried doing it from within FrontPage using File + New + Web and typing http://localhost/NewWebSitename, but got a message "An error occurred accessing your FrontPage web files." Do I need to set it up in IIS rather than in FrontPage? If so can anyone talk me through the procedure, bearing in mind I'm technically illiterate when it comes to IIS so you'll need to talk me through it in detail? It's very urgent.

I managed to work it out (in IIS). Sorry to have bothered you.
