Access the folders *how*? NTFS permissions are immediate, but if you
assign users to groups and groups to resources (per Microsoft's normal
suggestions) then until the user logs in again he isn't recognized as
a group member.

If this is in IIS, you need to set the folder for script execution and
possibly restart the site or IIS. (Can't remember if IIS4 reuqired a
restart for that).

If you're authenticating users in IIS using Windows authentications,
then user's permissions matter. If anonymous, nothing you do with
users matters, it's the IUSR account.
