Permission to write files in wwwroot

Using PHP 4.3.4 with IIS 5.1, I am trying to open a file for write access in wwwroot:
Code:
<?php
$handle=fopen("msg.txt","wb");

fclose($handle);
?>

The code flags an error on running the script, claiming that I don't have permission:
Quote:
Warning: fopen(msg.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in e:\inetpub\wwwroot\post.php on line 6

I went to the IIS control panel, Default Web Site properties, Home Directory, and ticked the Write access box. I restarted and still get the same error. Is there another permission I have to modify?

Don't worry, I worked it out. I had to tweak the actual folder security settings in Explorer, for wwwroot. Administrators had full access, but users didn't, which implies that a PHP script doesn't run as an administrator, but a user. Is that correct?

BTW, I was always logged in as an administrator.

By default IIS runs under the IUSR_computername local user account when it's servicing anonymous web users. If your site forces user authentication, IIS will impersonate the logged-in user.

The server administrator can change the default IIS user account.
