What about the IIS (Internet Information Services)? It runs asp.

IIS is not installed as standard but is included on the Windows XP installation CD.

Go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components.
In the dialog check the IIS option and click next.

After installation is complete you'll have a directory on your Windows root drive (usually C:\) called 'Inetpub', and in that a dir called 'wwwroot'.

Put you asp files there, say in a dir called 'web_1'. And then access it via the browser using the address "http://localhost/web_1/'.
