So in my case the fix was bizarre....

I went back to windowsupdate and there was still an item for Outlook
express 5x that needed to be done (which I had tried to do before).

Since I have outlook 6, I looked down through the list and found SP1
for Internet Explorer and ran it. It was from June 16th, but since
Outlook and Outllok express is not used on this machine I had never
cared about looking for it. This time I did it..

Once back at Windowsupdate I had a group of new patches, when run and
done POOF! http and FTP were back and the IUSR_<computername> had not
only begun holding info again, it had self completed.
