Module/Handler Differences
IIS Express ships with URL Rewrite built-in
WebDAV handler is disabled in configuration
Extra Environment Variables in Config
%IIS_BIN%, %IIS_USER_HOME%, and %IIS_SITES_HOME%
Failed Request Tracing is Enabled
Easier tracing experience

20. Personal Web Server Mode
By default one applicationHost.config file is generated per user unless one is specified:
Sites are persistent, similar to IIS
Template located at: %ProgramFiles%\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationHost.config
Syntax: iisexpress.exe [/config:config-file] [/site:site-name] [/systray:true|false] [/siteid:site-id] [/userhome:user-home]
ApplicationHost.config file is kept in %UserProfile%\Documents\IISExpress\config

21. Application Server Mode
Configuration is transient
Temporary configuration file generated when IIS Express starts
Template located at: %ProgramFiles%\IIS Express\AppServer\applicationHost.config
Syntax: iisexpress.exe /path:app-path [/port:port-number] [/clr:clr-version] [/systray:true|false]
ApplicationHost.config file is created in user’s %TEMP%\iisexpress folder

22. Managing IIS Express in Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and later have built-in IIS Express integration

23. Managing IIS Express in Visual Studio 11
Visual Studio 11 uses IIS Express by default (This option can also be enabled in VS 2010)
