    OK… Folowing the directions, I have installed URL Rewrite Module 1.1 (using Microsoft Web Platform Installer). However…

    Once installed, open the web.config file in the WordPress folder and add the following rule to the system.webServer element . . .

    There is NO web.config file to edit anywhere in my computer.

    So… now what?

    THANK YOU for the ultra fast reply! I was called away right after I posted my question, or I’d have been right back with you then.

    “Work” means that once I have everything set on my computer (localhost) that I can upload the files to my web site and everything works there, too. 🙂

    Then I can play / tweak / etc. on my computer to make things better as I learn more about WordPress, then uplaod any changes to the web site and it STILL works! 😉

    SO… What I’m getting from reading the two links above is:

    1 – I should make sure that my web hosting site is not Windows-based

    ** OR **

    Install Windows URL Rewrite Module on my web site

    ** AND **

    2 – I should install Windows URL Rewrite Module on MY computer (localhost) so that “Pretty” permalinks will work

    ** OR **

    I should not worry about it because when I upload the pages / categories / etc. they will all get the “Pretty” permalink URL as long as I enable it during the initial WordPress installation on my web host site?
