<tip type="IIS4, IIS5"> IIS keeps its settings (directory structure, virtual directories, web application settings,etc) in its own 'metabase', a file kept in the \winnt\system32\inetsrv\ named metabase.bin. These settings are *not* in the Registry. You wanna poke around in it like you do the registry? Grab MetaEdit 2.1 from Microsoft: <wrap> http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q232/0/68.ASP </wrap>. If you have an older version, please upgrade, as MetaEdit 2.0 has a bug that would corrupt your metabase (not good), and 2.1 supports migrating metabases to other servers (very good). </tip> sgd -- work: http://www.ti3.com/ non: http://thinksafely.org/
