If selected, Microsoft® Internet Information Server does not allow session object support for .asp files. This option places the following script in the header line of .asp files:
<%@ EnableSessionState=False%>
Note You use the Session object to store information needed for a particular user session. Variables stored in the Session object are not discarded when the user jumps between pages in the application; instead, these variables persist for the entire time the user is accessing pages in your application.
You can also use Session methods to explicitly end a session and set the timeout period for an idle session. For more information, see "Managing Sessions" in the Microsoft Internet Information Server documentation.
