Can I increase the default width of the Console tree view in IIS Manager?
-
I don't know if it's just me or everyone shares the pain, but when I need to change anything in a website's property, the sequence goes like: Open IIS Manager --> Expand 'local computer' node --> Expand 'Web Sites' --> Expand 'Default Web Site' --> Drag the splitter to increase width of tree view since that's too narrow to show the site names --> Select my desired site and do what I wanted to. That is 3 useless 'expands' and one irritating 'drag' every-time before I can do something meaningful. Gone through all the 'customization' options but found no way of making these nodes expanded by default or of changing the default width of the tree control. I really wish Microsoft had open sourced this tool so that I would've helped myself. Does anyone know any other way of making the nodes expanded by default or of increasing the default width of the tree control?
It's better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

Pravin.Hi, For that you have to create your own console, which will be able to save/restore its configuration (including column width, etc...) So just go Start -> Execute Type 'mmc -a' in this box There you will get an empty console to which you can add some tools by clicking File -> Add/Remove component Just add the IIS Management component, and format it the way you like. Finally, save this console. Next time you will launch it, you won't have to do your customizations again. Hope this helps. Kind regards :)

Wonderful.. Awesome.. Fantastic.. I can not thank you enough. You saved me at least 3 minutes of frustration every day (apart from teaching me something new). :rose:
