1) Is there a way to turn off write access for anonymous users only, without
switching to an Active Directory setup?
Yes, anonymous user will be redirect to /public folder. just make sure iusr
account doesn't have WRITE NTFS permission.

2) is it possible to get the FTP service to follow shortcuts used as home
directories or placed on the root of a physical home directory? The service

.lnk file does not apply to ftp world :( you can use virtual directory to
have a common share path, it can be located either in or outside of the
ftproot path

3) what is the minimum permission needed to grant a user access to their
home directory? Some experimentation has shed some light on this > question,
however, I was hoping there is some Microsoft KB article or reference that
states explicitly what permissions are needed so I can lockdown directories
and files in the most secure fashion
Basically, in my setup. only required users and system account have access
to the permission. Admin have READ access only, if admin are requested to
help remove some files, the write permission only granted at that time. rule
of thumb is always grant the minimum permissions, only grant more when
needed.
