ASP.NET Web Server Here Context Option

open.asp

You can download here the updated registry entry for opening the ASP.NET Development Web Server using context menu in Explorer. The path has been updated to use Visual Studio 2015’s development web server.

This is used to quickly open a web server in a directory. After merging the registry, just do the following:

  1. Open explorer and navigate to the target directory
  2. Right click and select the ASP.NET Web Server Here option

I have not tested this in Windows 10.
