Do you really want to still be using IDC/HTX?!?

Anyway, you can change a setting in IIS if you want:
Right-click on the website in question in the IIS MMC and choose
"Properties". Goto "Home Directory", click on "Configuration" towards the
bottom, switch to the debugging tab, and there is a radio option (Send
Detailed Error Messages to the Client -vs- Send "xxx" canned message to the
client). Choose the canned message, and enter whatever message you want
displayed.

Cheers
Ken
