APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the HTMLA Web Administration forms in Internet Information Server, if you click the properties of a Web site and view the home directory section, it appears that you can modify the application starting point entry. However, you cannot edit the information found in this field.

CAUSE

The field appears to be modifiable because the Web Administration forms are created using HTML 3.0.

This behavior is by design.
