Problem

I'm taking over IIS maintenance for someone who just left and for some reason they copied the config files to a different drive and pointed IIS to look at them instead of the default C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv\config. QUESTION: How do I change it back to the default path? I assume I'll have to copy the current config files to the default directory first to maintain the configuration... Thank you! Scott
