Whenever I disable file sharing (via Folder Properties\Sharing\Share) or remove Everyone from the list, I no longer able to browse the website via Internet Explorer.
Is this a requirement for classic ASP? Our website is deployed in intranet, we don't want the user to able to browse the directory via Windows Explorer (e.g. \server-name\path).
Thanks.
nope, this isn't a requirement to run ASP pages. However, you do need to add some specific users to your folder permissions if you don't wish to use EVERYONE. if you're not using windows authentication, you simply need to add the account that runs the site through IIS / AppPool settings. This account is usually named like IUSR_. You'll also need to add the NETWORK SERVICES account to your permissions. After adding them, simply restart IIS and you should be good to go.
