I just bought a brand new Lenovo (idealpad) laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic. There's no operating system DVD along with the stock, but the laptop does have OS recovery software, if you ever want to burn them on a DVD. I guess most hardware is being sold that way today.
Anyway, I want to use IIS. I followed these steps to install it. I went to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off. I selected Internet Information Services from the list and let it install it. I think it must've gotten installed.
But now, I can't find it. I tried these steps to locate inetmgr but neither can I find the MMC Snap-in UI. Where do I find IIS? I have even rebooted the machine and checked but no luck.
