I've just installed IIS Express, can anyone tell me where it gets the settings for the following variables? <pre class="prettyprint"><code>%IIS_BIN% %IIS_USER_HOME% %IIS_SITES_HOME% %SYSTEMDRIVE% </code></pre> Thanks

The following three environment variables are set by <code>iisexpress.exe</code> during the process startup. <ul> <li> <code>%IIS_BIN%</code> - refers to IIS Express installation folder (<code>%PROGRAMFILES%\IIS Express</code>)</li> <li> <code>%IIS_USER_HOME%</code> - <code>%USERPROFILE%\Documents\IISExpress</code> </li> <li> <code>%IIS_SITES_HOME%</code> - <code>%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Web Sites</code> </li> </ul> <code>%SYSTEMDRIVE%</code> - is a standard windows system environment variable
