The IIS installation process creates the IUSR account. The account has the following characteristics:
1. It is a member of the Guests group. Don?t confuse this Guests group with the Guest account. By default, the Guest account is and should remain disabled. Nevertheless, a user account can programmatically log on as a member of the Guests group. For example, IIS logs on an Anonymous user under the Guest logon even if the Guest account is disabled.
2. It has the Log on locally right. You can find rights in User Manager under Rights. The Log on locally right is a required attribute, and the account won?t work correctly if you don?t assign it.
3.The IUSR account is part of the Everyone group, and Everyone Full Control is the default permission on NT, so set your NTFS permissions accordingly.
So u can create a new user with the above permissions or try to change the existing user rights.
Good luck
