I've recently upgraded my development machine from Windows XP to Windows 7. How can I tell which w3wp.exe process belongs to which App Pool on a desktop running Windows 7?
On a server running IIS6, you can run c:\windows\system32\cscript iisapp.vbs
On a Windows 2008 Server running IIS7 you can run appcmd list wp

You can correlate that ProcessId to the matching process in the Processes tab in Task Manager (showing processes from all users, and including the ProcessId column in the results).
