Right click the folder for which you want to
grant permissions for, using Windows Explorer.

Select "Properties", and then click the "Security" tab.
Click "Add", and then click "Advanced".

Click "Find Now".
Scroll down to the "NETWORK SERVICE" account
( Careful. There's also a "NETWORK" account. Don't pick that one.)

Double-click the "NETWORK SERVICE" account to
add it to the account list allowed access to that folder.

Assign the desired permissions by checking "Allow" or "Deny".
OK your way out of there.

The default account for ASP.NET under IIS 6.0 is "NETWORK SERVICE".

If you're impersonating a different account, select that one instead.
