Matt...

Disabling the anonymous user setting in IIS requires you to use either Basic
or integrated Windows Authentication.
In the NTFS permissions settings at the file system level, on the Security
tab, add the domain user you want to have rights to login with. If
domain\user1 has rights, and domain\user2 tries to logon, they will be
denied. If you want more than one user, it is recommended to either use an
existing group or create a new one. Add the group to the NTFS permissions
so if users have to be added, deleted in the future, just add/remove them
from the group in your domain group. You will not have to revisit the NTFS
permissions or the IIS settings.

Setting the user as the anonymous user in IIS defeats the purpose of
disabling anonymous user access.
