What happens if you uncheck "Allow IIS to control password" on the Anonymous
User account, physically synchronize the account and password (i.e. go to
the User Control Panel and set the IUSR password to something you know, and
go do the same in IIS, or you can create another test user account, set it
as Anonymous User in IIS, and physically ACL the files to thes test user
account).

You can also search MSDN for KB articles related to "synchronizing the
Anonymous user account (IUSR) in IIS".

It seems it started prompting for a username/pass to
access the default web page. As far as I am aware, no
settings have been changed from their defaults
whatsoever. I have checked and rechecked to ensure NTFS
folder permissions are'nt causeing the error, and of
course have ensured that Anonymous Access is still
checked. Next, I completely uninstalled IIS, and re-
installed it...same problem. I keep coming back to the
NTFS permissions on the IIS folder, but cannot see
anything wrong. Please, any help appreciated!, as I am
running out of hair to pull out!
