Web config in web application

The default application on my web server contains its own web config
file with a timeout of 20 minutes. I have another application which
also has its own web.config file. I want a timeout of 10 minutes.
However, I can see that the application is not using its own
web.config but is using the parent file and timing out after 20
minutes. How can I get it to look at its own?
Thanks

You say "Another application". But have you defined two separeate
applications in IIS?
 
Yes, I created a virtual directory to point to the files and used the
'Create' button to convert this to an application.

You didnt "convert" it. Virtual directories and applications are separate,
and not exclusive. You made a application based on that virtual directory.
The virtual directory still exists.
 
I mean that I have defined the application starting point for my pages
as being the virtual directory which contains them. This includes the
web config file for these pages. I don't understand why the pages are
looking at the web config for the default web site.
