Run a nodejs connect server anywhere on Windows
1) Make sure your environment variables contain a variable called NODEPATH pointing to the global npm folder (usually %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\nodemodules)
2) Install connect as a global module (npm install -g connect)
3) Download and extract https://github.com/LaurentGoderre/connect-windows-integration/archive/master.zip
4) Run install.bat as an administrator
5) Right click on any folder and click "Launch Web Server Here". The server can be accesses using http://localhost:8080
