yes it is. currently belonging to Domain Administrator

yes. the folders & files have explicite rights "Full Control" for this
domain user
yes. share has explicit rights "read" and "write" for this user.

i followed this kb entry. i can successfully *browse* the files in internet
explorer through this vf (by directly specify the url). but as soon as i use
an asp script that reads from this virtual directory, i'm hitting the
annoying "permission denied" stuff again.

i really think there is a (design?) fault with credentials when the web has
no anonymous user. i can't find another pausible explanation...
