You can find this scheduled task as name "Start ColdBox Sample Application", depending of the server flavor this can be started using BoxLang MiniServer or CommandBox. If you want to start your any custom site, you can update this task if need it, or just only place your custom site under C:\inetpub\wwwroot folder

BoxLang MiniServer	C:\boxlang\bin\boxlang-miniserver.bat --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80 --webroot C:\inetpub\wwwroot --rewrites index.cfm	Start ColdBox Sample Application
BoxLang with CommandBox	C:\box\box.exe -commandbox_home=C:/CommandBox server start serverConfigFile="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\server.json"	Start ColdBox Sample Application

If you only place your custom site under C:\inetpub\wwwroot remember to delete their content before in order to remove the sample ColdBox Application
