Q: Are there advantages/disadvantages to using the custom settings in the UI versus using the XML file configurator in Files and Folders?
A1: If you refer to the Custom Properties section of IIS I would recommend using it instead of the XML file in the configurator in Files and Folders; mainly because if the website install fails, then the custom properties settings will be reverted automatically during rollback.
