If you click Features View,

the various configurable properties are displayed in the Home pane. They can be grouped
either by Category or Area, or you can choose No Grouping. The grouping can be changed
by selecting the appropriate grouping level in the Group By drop-down list. Furthermore,
just as in a Windows Explorer view, you can click the Window icon to the right of the
Group By drop-down list and set the view to Details (default), Icons, Tiles, or List.
The right-hand Actions pane contains links to context-sensitive actions based on the
selections in either the Connections pane or the Home pane. For example, if you click the
server name in the Connections pane, the options to stop and start the server are made
available in the Actions pane. If you select a Web site, the Actions pane contains links to
let you stop and start the site, view applications and virtual directories, and edit its various
properties. The familiar and useful Browse and Explore icons are also available.
Now that you??™ve received a quick tour of the new IIS Manager, let??™s examine the
Home pane a bit more closely, since this is where you will do a majority of your configuration
work. With IIS and ASP.NET properties now fully intertwined in IIS 7.0, the
old-fashioned tabbed interface is too cumbersome. Instead, what would have been a
separate tab in the previous interface is represented by an icon in the Home pane.
