Unable to access the IIS metabase ASP.Net

Question

Hi I know there are a few threads on this but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

I have an ASP.Net website project which I am trying to load and publish in V

Answer 1

It turns out my Personal Folder was set to a network drive which occasionally went down causing the error described.

To change your Personal folder:

• Open C://Windows/regedit.exe
• Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
• Change the field Personal to %USERPROFILE% or %USERPROFILE%\{a folder of your choice}

This fixed the problem for me.

Note you may need to move over any files from your old Personal folder to your new one as they wont be picked up any more
