    Right click and choose [Properties]
    Click on the [Home Directory] tab
    Click on the [Configuration...] button
    Click the [Options] tab
    Put a check beside [Enable Parent Paths]

    A dialog will appear letting you know that the changes that you have made will effect all sites within IIS that you have created.
    Click [OK]
    Then [OK] to the child Nodes
    Then [OK] to close out of the Properties of the [Web Site]
    Now, refresh your page and it should not display properly.

    If you choose to perform this action for the [Default Web Site] then it will only effect that one site, But choosing to do the [Web Site] folder, will make the rule so for all sites and for all future sites as well.
