RE: [NTISP] C++ CGI on IIS and Win2000 need more permissions

I'm not up on Win2k yet, but IIS has had provisions for setting user access
for some time... Either have the user log in as an administrator, or change
the account used by the anonymous user to an administrator account (and
protect the service by IP address.)

Hope this helps,

Subject: [NTISP] C++ CGI on IIS and Win2000 need more permissions

Hi,
I have a c++ CGI program that is running on a Win2000 machine with IIS
web server.
The problem is Windows user permissions. The CGI file can't write to
most directories because it was spawned by the IIS which runs as
Everybody. So obviously the CGI brogram inherits this user level and can

only write to directores that Everybody has access to. I need more. I
need to upgrade the User level of the CGI program to Administrator
(dangerous, I know.) In unix a "chmod u+s CGIFILENAME" will do this.
How do I do this in Windows??
ANY ideas will be appreciated VERY much. (You actually might have to
worry abt me trying to kiss you)
