I have uploaded a few PDF files to my Windows Server 2003 IIS 6.0 webserver.
However, they are not available on the web as I didn't change any settings
to allow PDF files.

The server is remote, and I cannot log into it presently, but I can access a
desktop machine connected on the same LAN through Remote Desktop.

I can connect to the server's registry through the desktop machine using
regedit. Is there any way I can edit the registry to allow IIS to show the
PDF files or this not going to be possible at all?

Or is there any way to administer IIS from the XP Pro desktop machine?

ss.

We've no idea. Try asking them here.

You can install the IIS 6.0 admin tools on the XP client computer and then
as long as you have an account with Local Admin rights on the IIS 6 box you
will be able to update your server.

I've sorted out my previous problem, but this ability to administrate IIS
from the desktop PC is very helpful.
