You can use the free tool Dumpsec from Somarsoft or the Resource Kit tool
showacl to see permissions to a folder or folders. Try adding the user that
is denied access normally to the local administrators group to see what
happens. If that works then I tend to think the user is lacking a user
right. If it does not work then I think the user is a member of a group that
has deny permissions applied somewhere along the line. To check user rights,
open Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] and look for any user right where
both administrators and IUSR user are included but the user or group that
the user is a member of is not. Also keep in mind that any "deny" user right
will override he same allow user right so take a close look at any deny user
rights. Verify the user group membership with the " net user username "
command [using real user name of course]. --- Steve
