I have added the .inc extension to my Include files. I added this through IIS, making the call to the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\ssinc.dll" extension mapping. I have tried using the Verbs "GET,POST". I even tried changing it to "All". But it is not working. The Include files are ignored.

According to this Microsoft page, the default extensions are .stm, .shtm and .shtml. But even renaming the extension to .shtml, and changing the HTML code to call the new extention, does not work.

I thought, from this page, that it might be a Permissions problem on the folder where the Include files are stored. But even changing the permissions did not fix it.

I tried changing the INCLUDE reference from "file" to "virtual", and this did not fix it.

Example:
<!-- start page footer -->
<!--#include file="footer.inc" -->
<!-- end page footer -->

Any ideas?
