I am running Windows 7 64-bit and my IIS Manager disappeared from my Start Menu and from Administrative Tools. This is a new machine and it was working fine yesterday, but today it will not appear.
I have verified that IIS Manager is installed and that all of the appropriate features are checked in Turn Windows features on or off. I have also verified that InetMgr.exe does exist at C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe and I am able to run it from that path or by searching for "inetmgr". However, it does not display in my start menu or in the Administrative Tools.
Here is a snapshot of my features:
I have tried resetting IIS, turning the feature off and back on, and restarting the computer - all to no avail. Does anyone know how I can get the application back into my Administrative Tools and Start Menu?
Thanks so much for your help :)

I am really looking to make sure that there is nothing that I am missing or may have messed up on my machine that could have caused this. – Zachary Kniebel – 2014-05-13T14:21:44.183
To be honest, I don't think so but, sadly, time will tell!! If it goes again, then you know the answer and since it's not causing any real damage, I wouldn't be concerned (although it is odd)... Most nasty programs/virus's etc attack exe's or plugins... I don't think I've ever heard of a virus or similar just removing a single icon so I don't think that is the reason... – Dave – 2014-05-13T14:23:21.507
Can it be your antivirus ? – harrymc – 2014-05-16T19:37:46.703
I don't believe so - I've never heard of anti-virus doing that, and I hadn't even added antivirus protection to the computer yet, at the time this started (brand new machine) – Zachary Kniebel – 2014-05-16T20:21:56.790
An antivirus once decimated half my Start menu, but that is not connected to your problem. Try sfc /scannow, the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows and the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, as sometimes they fix a problem or two. Let us know what happens.

OK, I did that. – harrymc – 2014-05-17T13:58:50.713
