Unless I redirect the My Documents folder to a local copy IIS Express fails to start with the following error message: Filename: redirection.config Error: Cannot read configuration file
This happens when starting a new web project from studio or even is I just double click on the iisexpress.exe file.
Any way around this or must I continue to redirec the My Documents folder

Configure IIS express on visual studioSelect the web application project and open properties -> select the web tab -> under server's select IIS express-> Specify the project URL.
IIS Express is not included with VS 10 SP1 and will need to be installed separately. You can also manually launch IIS Express from the command line and use it with Visual Studio 2008, using the custom web server option.
A Definition of IIS ExpressThe server is integrated into WebMatrix and does not ship with IIS Manager for IIS 7. Instead, it is managed from within WebMatrix or from the icon. The Microsoft WebMatrix is an integrated suite of tools to manage ASP.NET and PHP development. Although, you can also install it independently.
IIS Express uses a default, user-specific ApplicationHost. config file to allow many users to share the same computer without interfering with other user's settings. This file is located in the %userprofile%\Documents\IISExpress\config folder or %userprofile%\My Documents\IISExpress\config folder, depending on your OS.
It seems you are using old version of IIS Express. Un-install your current IIS Exprss and install latest refresh release from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=abc59783-89de-4adc-b770-0a720bb21deb
