Newbie trying to do something in need of help:

Using Vista IIS (version 7 I think this would be?) I try to make a new website to be hosted locally. I go through the steps of adding a site name and set the binding which goes fine, however when I try to set the physical path I get the following error:



Authorization Cannot verify access to path (C......)

The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.


I tried moving the directory to other locations but the same error occurs. Any ideas?
