How to turn on or off IIS on windows 7 or windows 8 ?

note: IIS stands for Internet Information Services...
Sometimes troubleshooting some issues with ports or others may require that you make sure your IIS is down or up as it is using by default the port 80. Even though there are many ways to do this I found this one particularly easier and decided to share it with you.

1. Simultaneously press Win + R keys and the Run dialog window pop up
           or
 type run in the lower bottom left textfield (prompting Search programs and files) under All Programs


2.  type: appwiz.cpl and Click OK

  
3. On the top left: click on Turn Windows features on or off
  
4.  Then finally you are there . Most obviously the second branch below Games will be Internet Information Services. You can turn it on or off by just filling or clearing the box...

You are now free to proceed accordingly depending of what you want to do. Stay blessed!
