web.config inheritance

I have the following setup --

wwwroot\web.config

wwwroot\application1\web.config

I have application1 flagged as it's own application within IIS. The
behavior I'm seeing is that application1 still inherits from the wwwroot's
web.config. I thought that if application1 was set as it's own application
within IIS, it would override that inheritance. Seems from postings in
various newsgroups that this is wrong. Is this right?

Is there anyway to have application1's web.config not inherit from its
parent directory's web.config?

Thanks, GalenHi Galen,

You may refer to following article to see if the last section address the
problem:

You may create a new virtual folder to the phiscal folder and test again.
