I understand that IIS has a default session timeout of 15 minutes. How do I
change this?

Many thanks.

It is actually 20 minutes.

You control this in the IIS Manager at the Application Root Level.

Normally the Application Root is the Web Site Root (Default Web Site etc..)

Select the web site
Right click and select properties
Select the Home Directory Tab
Click the Configuration Button
Select the Options Tab

You should see that there is an Enable Session State and a Session State
Timeout.

Note: ASP.NET can also store session state in IIS, or a State Server
(Seperate service running on the same PC) and SQL Server.
