Hold it <s>... that's extremely bad advice! It opens huge security issues.
I've seen this a lot on *public* Web sites even where you end up with
total access.

There are a couple of better ways to handle this if indeed you're using IIS
and an InProc component that has the same rights as an IIS request (which
would apply to ISAPI and CGI extensions called from IIS).

there are several API calls that allow user account impersonation to
*temporarily* set permissions to access resources either locally on
the network. For local machine access the easiest thing to do is use
RevertToSelf() which reverts IUSR_ to the SYSTEM account. This may
or may not allow you access to the network depending on how security
is set up for the system.

You can also use ImpersonateLogon( specific account) or
ImpersonateInteractiveUser(whoever is logged on or SYSTEM if noone is).
These require some additional calls though to get an access token first.

The other route is to set permissions on the target resource to allow
IUSR_ of the Web server access on its remote drives. To do this you have
to change the randomly assigned password for IUSR_ in user manager and
IIS. Once you actually know what hte password is create the IUSR_WebServer
account on the target server with the same user name and password,
making it possible to allow access. Make sure you don't expose this
remote resource in any way through Web or other TCP/IP interfaces - if
you do you have a huge security leak - the key is not to let the outside
know or not use TCP/IP on that net connection at all.

The same security scheme is required in order to make DCOM component calls
from IIS's user context.
