subdirs from virtual directory showing up a level

IIS 6.0 on WinServer 2003, Default web site

- I create a virtual directory/application for .NET app; call it FOO;
everything fine
- I move a single file and directory called Bin into physical location on
disk
- Click refresh in IIS and it show correctly shows Bin underneath FOO
- Close IIS
- Reopen IIS
- Now Bin directory is displayed at the same level as FOO
- Properties on Bin indicate "The designated directory"

What's going on???

Hello Amil,

Try the same process but do this a bit differently...

Before you shut down the mmc, instead, restart the IISAdmin service. Then
refresh the MMC. If no change has been made, then copy the metabase.xml
file.... then close out your MMC, and reopen... If a change has occured,
then copy the xml file.

Try this out and tell me what you get.

Thank you,

That did it. Thanks. Must have been in some querky state that only a
file/save/copy could restore.
