Drupal on IIS: “default” folder permissions issue

Question

I've an issue with Drupal on an IIS 7 web server.

For some reason I get this error message in the status report. The default folder has only "View" permissions, while the children folder "files" and all subfolders have both write and read: http://d.pr/WZ0F

Configuration file Not protected The directory sites/default is not protected from modifications and poses a security risk. You must change the directory's permissions to be non-writable. The file sites/default/settings.php is not protected from modifications and poses a security risk. You must change the file's permissions to be non-writable.

i found this on community somewhere

go to DOS,
cd to the site folder
input: attrib +R default

or try turning off register_globals in php.ini to stop this message. but ALL THIS ONLY for IIS6

THIS MIGHT HELP FOR IIS7
