localhost...

hi all
I just bought a new computer with win XP PRO. I'm trying to set it up so
that I can use it as a local host and with IIS etc. I don't really know where
to start. How do I start running IIS? At this point, pointing to localhost
doesn't work but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.

I'd really appreciate any help. TIA
