What is the Web Application Tool and how do I use it?

Warning: Improper use of this tool can render your web site nonfunctional.

To create a web application, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to the Web Application Tool in Control Panel.
  2. The directory structure of your web site will be displayed. Directories currently set as application roots are displayed with a special IIS application icon.
  3. To navigate to a subdirectory, click on the + sign.
  4. Click the directory you wish to designate as an application root.
  5. Click "Install Application."
