I recently installed IIS 5.1 on a Windows XP SP2 computer. Everything worked fine. I then installed ASP.NET and had a number of problems which forced me to fix the DCOM and reinstall. Finally ASP.NET works and IIS works, with one exception. When I create a Virtual Directory through IIS in a location outside of I receive a 401.3 error ("You are not authorized to view this page"), but a virtual directory created in c:\inetpub\ works perfectly (ie, http:\\localhost\test located at c:\Test will get an access denied error but http:\\localhost\test located in
I can force the virtual directory outside of to work by manually the IUSR user to the directory through windows but I did not have to do this before I tried to get ASP.NET working. Any idea what might have been reconfigured?

Thanks!
