Okay I checked out the article. That is my exact problem, however the fix
didn't fix it.

I now have updated to the new visual studio, so I've created a new aspnet
visual studio project. I moved the files into this directory and they work
fine. It definitely seems like a problem with permissions.

However, I really want to get a handle on why it didn't work, since one day
soon I'll probably have to deploy in a situation where there is no copy of
VS to automate the process for me. So I tried opening the
settings/security tab of the new project's directory and duplicating the
exact permissions list into my old directory. Well it still didn't work.

There are a few differences between the two though:
  1. The old directory is just an alias in IIS, it doesn't reside beneath
the wwwroot folder, it's actually in my MyDocuments (though I tried moving
it and still it didn't work). The new directory is under wwwroot.
  2. The permissions in the new 'working' directory, some are greyed out
and ticked, I presume this means they are inherited from a parent directory,
though I can't imagine this should matter if the ticks are all in the right
places.
  3. VS seems to have added a link in My Network Places, though I think
this just amounts to a shortcut and is probably irrelevant.

I think my biggest problem is that I don't really understand what all the
system accounts are for or the context in which an Asp.net page executes.
I assume one of these accounts has an associated access control list that is
checked when the page is accessed.

any thoughts?

thanks for the help, much appreciated.

cheers.
