title: Where is located physical directory of my IIS Express site?
body: <p>In which directory IIS Express stores my site DLLs and other resources?</p>
  
  <p>I have examined the <code>&lt;site&gt;</code> section of my <code>%USERPROFILE%\Documents\IISExpress\applicationhost.config</code> and it looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;site name="WebSite1" id="1" serverAutoStart="true"&gt;
    &lt;application path="/"&gt;
      &lt;virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="%IIS_SITES_HOME%\WebSite1" /&gt;
    &lt;/application&gt;
    &lt;bindings&gt;
      &lt;binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":8080:localhost" /&gt;
    &lt;/bindings&gt;
  &lt;/site&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Physical path is set to <code>%IIS_SITES_HOME%\WebSite1</code> which points to <code>%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Web Sites</code>, but in this directory, there are just default files like <code>iistart.htm</code>, <code>iis.png</code> and other crap.</p>
  
  <p>My site runs on <code>localhost:58620</code>, but I there is no site configuration <code>applicationhost.config</code> for it.</p>
  
  <p>I start IIS Express from Visual Studio 2015.</p>
  
  <p>So where is the <em>physical directory</em> of my <code>localhost:58620</code> site located? Thanks.</p>
