in thread Script executing on client, not server

Thanks inman. I have two questions:

1.What is iusr_<server> user? I realize I'm supposed to replace 'server' with my server's name. But where do I input this info? Is that under folder properties, in the security tab?

2. How do I use this virtual directory. I've been previously told to create a virtual directory, and set the correct settings. I've done that. But what am I supposed to do with this directory? Where/how do I reference it? Any special syntax?

Thanks

    The iusr_server user is created when IIS is installed (possibly with the installation of your OS). The user account is a local account that is used by IIS to serve content to 'anonymous' users. You can explicitly set the permissions for this user in the folder properties, security tab. The IUSR_server account will be listed in the local computer's users (as opposed to a Domain). This user needs to have read/execute access (not write).
