Recycling an Application Pool is done by right‑clicking the site in IIS Manager, and then selecting “Deploy” → “Recycle …”. Stop your Application Pool here, and start it again afterwards.
Through IIS Manager you can also convert a folder to an application.
This is done by right‑clicking the folder, selecting “Deploy” and then “Convert to application”.
