>That could be a security issue. Unless you authenticate a user, ASP pages run as the IUSR_machine account where "machine" should be the name of your machine. By default, the IUSR_ account does have very limited rights and can't launch an EXE. Giving IUSR_ access to WScript.Shell is not a good idea. However, if you compile the EXE into a COM EXE server, you can use DCOMCNFG to give IUSR_* access to this component. If the ASP page runs with medium or high application protection, you also have to give access to the IWAM_MACHINE user.

Question, on my development machine I am running XP Pro. When I go to users in the control panel, it does not show the IUSR_ account such that I can even set the permission to see if that does it. Any clue on where you go to set the permission for the IUSR account??
Thanks,
