title: Permanently adding a mime type to IIS
body: <p>Currently if you add a MIME type through iis as follows:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager</p>
    
    <p>In the Connections pane, go to the site, application, or directory for
    which you want to add a MIME type. In the Home pane, double-click MIME
    Types.</p>
    
    <p>In the MIME Types pane, click Add... in the Actions pane.</p>
    
    <p>In the Add MIME Type dialog box, add the file name extension and MIME
    type, and then click OK.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>IIS will delete the entry when you do an IISRESET.  There are some developers doing IISRESET and wiping out the user created mime types.  My question is, how can I permanently add a MIME type so that even when a developer does an IISRESET, it will not be wiped out and will remain with the other default mime types.  Thanks.</p>
