How to stop IIS when you are writing web applications as ISAPI dll's

Question: How to I completely restart Internet Information Services (IIS) in order to unload my ISAPI DLL so I can rebuild it?

Answer: On Windows 2000 with IIS5, use the command iisreset from a command prompt. On Windows NT4 with IIS4, use the commands:

mtxstop
net stop iisadmin /y
net start w3svc

You can place these commands in a .bat file to easily restart your server at will.
