Windows Mobile is reborn. We all met the new Windows Phone 7 and by the end of the year we’ll meet the first smartphones based on it. Reportedly, Microsoft will launch their own phone in early 2011 as well. And it will be made by Asus.

With the Windows Phone 7 Microsoft didn’t start a new chapter in WinMo’s history. They started it over. We’ll see if it’s for the better or for worse.

According to the Northeast Securities analyst Ashok Kumar, there is more to see from the company. A Microsoft branded mobile phone. Currently, it’s in the works and is expected to be ready for its premiere sometime at the beginning of the next year.

Microsoft’s own Windows Phone 7 smartphone will be a touchscreen-equipped bar made by Asus. None of the companies have neither confirmed nor denied that so far.

Renaming Virtual Directories (IIS 6.0)

In IIS 6.0, you cannot use IIS Manager to rename a virtual directory. Instead, you can rename a virtual directory by editing the MetaBase.xml file using a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad.

Note: Always back up the metabase before editing MetaBase.xml. For information on backing up the metabase, see Backing Up and Restoring the Metabase in IIS 6.0.

Important

You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to run scripts and executables. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run your script or executable as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /profile /User:MyComputer\Administrator cmd to open a command window with administrator rights and then type cscript.exeScriptName (include the script’s full path and any parameters).

Procedures
To rename a virtual directory by using Notepad

1. Open MetaBase.xml in Notepad. The default location for MetaBase.xml is C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv.

2. On the Edit menu, click Find, and then locate the virtual directory name that you want to change.

3. Replace the current virtual directory name with a new name.

4. Close the MetaBase.xml file and when prompted, save the changes.

5. In IIS Manager, right-click the local computer, and then select All Tasks.

6. On the All Tasks menu, click Save Configuration to Disk

Note: When you rename a newly created virtual directory, it takes at least two minutes for the change to appear in IIS Manager if no other changes are pending. To see the change immediately in IIS Manager, close and then reopen IIS Manager.

Redirecting Web Sites in IIS 6.0 (IIS 6.0)

When a browser requests a page or program on your Web site, the Web server locates the page identified by the URL and returns it to the browser. When you move a page on your Web site, you can’t always correct all of the links that refer to the old URL of the page. To make sure that browsers can find the page at the new URL, you can instruct the Web server to redirect the browser to the new URL.

You can redirect requests for files in one directory to a different directory, to a different Web site, or to another file in a different directory. When the browser requests the file at the original URL, the Web server instructs the browser to request the page by using the new URL.

Important

You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to perform the following procedure or procedures. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /user:Administrative_AccountName “mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc”.

You can use wildcards and redirect variables in the destination URL to precisely control how the original URL is translated into the destination URL.

You can also use the redirect method to redirect all requests for files in a particular directory to a program. Generally, you should pass any parameters from the original URL to the program, which you can do by using redirect variables.
