Permissions for asp.net development

Hi,

I am trying to start with ASP.NET programming. After installing IIS 5.1 I
noticed couple of new accounts: IUSR_*, IWAM_* and ASPNET.

I would like to ask the following:

1/ Why I need these accounts; how can I use them?
2/ How should I set permissions for the folder c:\Inetpub and for its
subfolders?

Thank you,

Lubomir

1. Both accounts are used by IIS automatically for access to various system
resources including source files, CGI engines and COM components - you don't
use them yourself, try not to fool round with them unless you've researched
what you're trying to do and know what you're doing
2. that depends on what you want to do. usually the defaults are OK for
experimenting with, then tweak them as you learn.
