In the Web.config of you project. The first step would be change:

<authentication mode="Forms">
</authentication>

to

<authentication mode="Windows">
</authentication>

Selecting your project and hitting F4 for the properties window allows you to change the authentication method.

However instead of me putting step by step in here just use this very easy to follow tutorial: Enabling Windows Authentication
