iis-7.5 machine.config

I have IIS 7.5 and I have installed the Application Initialization Module for it. Now, I am trying to change the StartMode of an application pool, but do not see the StartMode option in the IIS Manager. I have looked under Basic and Advanced Settings. I am thinking that the next place to edit this value would be in the Machine.Config. So, I have found that file, but I am unsure where the update would be placed in there. I believe it should be set to AlwaysRunning.

Any help would be appreciated.

I found the Configuration Editor under the Management section of the IIS manager.

EDIT: startMode is in section system.applicationHost/applicationPools under applicationPoolDefaults. It can also be configured on a per-item basis in Application Pools - Advanced Settings.
