Configuring basic authentication on IIS 7

Morning All,

I am installing a web-based product of ours on a Vista/IIS 7 laptop
for the first time, have only installed it with IIS 5/6 before now. I
have the web site set up, but I cannot work out how to set up basic
authentication as I do for IIS 5/6. I need this to allow the user to
identify themselves.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to do this on IIS 7?

Thanks,
Al.

To answer my own question - if anyone's interested. Windows Vista
Home (which the laptop has on it) does not offer the Windows
authentication methods. Thanks Microsoft!
