  2. Inetpub folder

    The folder is in the root of the C-drive. I guess that if you don't know that, you can't really answer the question?

    Why shouldn't I stop the IIS-service? It's a service used for IIS-servers or others hosting web sites, isn't it?

    If I should make the question simpler it would be: Why do I have to run web hosting related services on a PC that isn't suposed to be a web host?

    it's not really a problem it's just that I don't like to have things in my c-drive that doesn't absolutely have to be there. And to have folders outside the standard windows, program files (x86), program files, users and program data, in the root of the
    c-drive is a total no-no in my book.

    Also, everything user related (users/account name) has been moved to the root of the d-drive wich only holds user data. Everything else is spread out on my 4 other HDD's. I'm and _organization_ freak I guess. Ordnung must sein (it has to be order), as they
    say in Germany. Can't delete inetpub folder ;)

  3. Inetpub folder

    That does NOT solve the problem. IIS is not on, nor has it ever been turned on for my computer. Something else is causing this, which is very worrisome.

    And, it is EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE !!!! That Microsoft does not address this question. A tech support individual responded once, and asked an irrelevant question (apparently not understanding the issue), and then has been hiding under his desk ever since.

    Do you use your PC to develop Website ? IIS is needed to run as a Web Server. If not, click on start and type:Control and run control panel-> programs & Features ->Turn Windows Features on or off then uncheck "Internet Information Service"

    I upgraded Windows 7 to 10 and, it has been years, but I played with IIS services. What bothers me is the "Windows Process Activation Service" that appears to be running.

    When you turn off IIS in Windows Features as topgundcp described it will turn that service off too, as it is only there because IIS is using it.

    Well this presents an interesting problem. I turned off IIS and killed Service Host, but it just restarts and throws a .tmp file into the folder every time and locks it. Got to be another service running that is activating Service Host.

    Can't delete inetpub folder

    Hey rdwray,
    Been awhile since I've used IIS. Uninstalling it should have removed it services (IIS Admin, SMTP, World Wide Web Publishing) , but I'd double check services for those and if they still exist, set their startup type to manual or disabled.

    Yep, turned all those off. Finally shut down "Windows Process Activation Service" and that did it. Apparently this service starts with IIS in a manual state and has to be shut down manually.
