Einar,
Is this for a web or windows project? (just kidding)

I'm not sure if this is the case, but it seems to be granting permissions to the ASPNET user would be a bad practice. You may want to look at impersonating a user in your web.config file and setting it to a specific domain user.

Now that I think more about it, I'm not even sure it is possible to do this because the ASPNET user would be a local user to the web server, and not a domain user.
