IIS icons - sprockets and globes ?

When creating and managing directories in IIS some
directories/folders have a sprocket as an icon and others
have a globe while still others look like 'plain'
folders. Apparently the ones with the sprockets are
virtual directories, but what are the ones with the globes
as icons ? And, how do you create them ? We are
replacing a server and not sure what those are or how they
got there.

In IIS 6.0
a) normal folder - this will be normal directory under the webroot
b) globe icon folder - this is a normal virtual directory link to path
c) sprockets icon folder - this indicate an application root, to create
this, go to property page, on the 'directory' or 'virtual directory' tab,
click the 'create' button at the 'application settings'

In IIS5.0, the application root, shows as a box icon.
