title: Can't find IIS on Windows 7 Home Basic
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, I want to use IIS. I followed <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731911.aspx" rel="noreferrer">these steps</a> to install it. I went to <strong>Control Panel</strong> -> <strong>Programs</strong> -> <strong>Turn Windows features on or off</strong>. I selected <strong>Internet Information Services</strong> from the list and let it install it. I think it must've gotten installed.</p>
  
  <p>But now, I can't find it. I tried <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770472%28WS.10%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">these steps</a> to locate <strong>inetmgr</strong> 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.</p>
