Now that
we have IIS up and running, and ASP.NET installed, let’s look at how
you can start, stop, and restart IIS if the need arises. For the most part,
you’ll always want to have IIS running, except when you’re using
certain programs locally that open ports and allow intruders to compromise
the security of your computer. Some programs, like Kazaa, automatically stop
IIS upon launch, because of potential security vulnerabilities. If you want
to stop IIS when it’s not being used, simply follow the steps outlined
below:
A):
With IIS open, select Default Web Site. The Play, Stop, and
Pause icons will become visible.
B): To start IIS again, all you need to do is click
the Play icon.
