Missing ASP tab in IIS?

I've been wondering for some time where my ASP tab has gone recently - in fact ever since I installed VMWare. Bewarned, VMWare will take your ASP tab away from IIS!

http://blog.angrypets.com/2006/09/solved_missing_.htm

A gent I work with figured out how to fix the issue where the APS.Net tab disappears from IIS Manager. I know this will work on 32 bit systems. Im not sure how it will affect 64 bit Windows IIS installs are they even broken anyone care to check/try?1) Stop the IIS Admin service (and any services that depend on it)
2) Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml in notepad. _DELETE_ the line that reads Enable32BitAppOnWin64=TRUE
3) Start -> Run -> iisresetYour tab should now be back and functional.
Once I got my tab back, a good ol restart and a flick to ASDP 1.1 then back to 2 to reset everthing on my webmail domain - voila. In fact it cured my other troublesome asp site too..

Hope this helps someone else too..
