Mime Types in IIS 7

Hand-edit the web.config file to manually remove the <remove>/<add> of
the affected MIME Type to reinherit.

Basically, once you remove an item from a collection at a child level
using <remove>, when you re-add the item, you have a choice of either:
1. Re-inherit -- remove the <remove> element at the child level
2. Add local -- re-add using <add> after <remove> at the child level

It will take a UI dialog at every MIME Type insertion to distinguish
between 1 and 2, both of which are valid choices.
