Couldn't start Default Web Site on Windows7. Solved

Problem:
You try to start Default Web Site in IIS Manager and it fails with the following error message:


The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020)


Solution: 
If Skype is running - quit it. Then start the web site! Your Skype was listening on the port 80.

Hint:
Start the Default Web Site before starting Skype.

Happened to me on Windows7 64bit, IIS7, IIS7.5
