I’ve got IIS installed and enabled on Windows 7, but I don’t know where to open it so that I can configure a website.

I seem to remember that in Windows XP it was somewhere in the Control Panel, but I can’t find it in Windows 7.

Ah — it’s still in the control panel, I just couldn’t find where.

  • Start
  • Control Panel
  • System and Security
  • Administrative tools

(And if you’re viewing by large or small icons instead of by category, you go straight to Administrative Tools.)

Question is answered I know, but you can always use Windows Key + R, type inetmgr then press either ENTER or CTRL-SHIFT + ENTER.

(I'm a keyboard fan)

Or type iis into the start menu search box thingy. – Spectre May 25 '11 at 15:31

Before that you have to enable the IIS for windows by

  1. start
  2. Control panel
  3. programs
  4. Turn windows feature on / off
  5. Check the IIS services (4th and 5th checkbox)
  6. ok
  7. restart the system

Very true: I had it enabled, but if I didn’t it wouldn’t show up in Administrative Tools. – Paul D. Waite May 25 '11 at 9:25

Try to start the IIS using services:

  • C:\Windows\system32
  • Services
  • Open it
  • Start the IIS services
