Problems with writing to a file on IIS 6.0



I have an ASP.Net application which accesses a web server hosted on
IIS. The web server creates a file in the application directory and
writes to it. My application needs to run on 2K, 2K3 and XP, i.e. IIS
5.0, 5.1 and 6.0.
I cannot use 'Inegrated Windows Authentication' (on my client's
request) so i have enabled the anonymous access. In 2K and XP systems,
I gave the ASPNET user full control on the physical directory and made
it the id for 'Anonymous Access' for that virtual directory. The
application runs fine.

But on a machine with IIS 6.0, I am facing problems. The user NETWORK
SERVICE has full control on the physical directory, but what should be
the anonymous access user? The NETWORK SERVICE is not available for
anonymous access. Using the IUSR_ id for anonymous access did not help
since it does not have the required permissions. How can I write to
file on IIS 6.0?

Please let me know if there is any way of solving this preferably
without creating a new user account.
