IIS Application Mappings & ScriptMaps

One thing I hate about IIS is that it is so hard to find the information you need to script it. Take the Application Mappings dialog that controls which executable runs to handle a file extension when a request comes into the ISS to serve up a page in a virtual directory. How could you guess that you are looking for the "ScriptMaps" value in the metabase? I only managed to find it because I searched for the code fragment GetObject("IIS://LocalHost/W3SVC/1/root") and "Application Mappings" which enabled me to find the linked page.

If you came in from a search I guess that you are reading this because you are trying to do the same thing.
