Thanks, that helped.

I found that by unchecking the "Integrated Windows
Authentication" and only selecting Basic Authentication I
was able to use the quest account I set up to log into my
web site. One last question, I understand that when using
a password without SSL it is sent in clear text. If some
how some one did get that password to my guest account
what kind of access would they have to do damage to my
system? (The user and password is only a member of the
Guests group).
