  IIS7 Access Denied Problem Reply Contact I am using Windows Vista Home Premium(32 bit) Service Pack 1 that comes with my brand new HP laptop. I am a newbie in IIS7. I was trying to install a simple asp.net web application in my IIS7 by creating a new website under website node. I have done everything right. After all i have a long experience with previous versions of IIS. But this time I faced a weird problem. After installing the web site, while trying to browse it, i was getting a very common error which i shouldn't have got. Can not write to output file.......bla bla bla...Access Denied. This tells to all old folks like us that there is something wrong with the permission. So the first instinct will be to Add NETWORK SERVICE to ASPNET Temporary folder and grant it full control. Which I did! Then what went wrong? After spending hours finding no clue, I have decided to compromise. I have set my application pool identity to LocalSystem. Restart the system and the error goes away. I got my nice little website up and running. Can anybody tell me what is the thing happening here?

So normally every resource under that folder should have the permission level inherited from the parent.
