Answer 1

Open the Internet Information Service (IIS) Manager and click on the 'Sites' menu item on the left. You should see a list of sites that are running on your local installation of IIS. Right click the website whose port you want to change and select 'Bindings...'.

To have your website run on http://localhost/ you simply need to change the port in the bindings to port 80.
