Change the application pool identity in SharePoint 2007.

I know now we are so used to SharePoint 2010, but we still need to support SharePoint 2007 and we always forget the simple things that we always need to have at our finger tips, I reckon this is one of them that we frequently need during development and testing, so I thought of recording this in this post so at least I can come back to this when ever I need it and similarly I thought there may be lot of devs out there who will need this.

Launch central admin and select operations and then select service accounts under security configuration.

Select the application pool that you need to change the identity.
