IUSR account cannot find in Windows XP Pro

[MEM]

Hello,

I cannot find the IUSR_computername account! Yes, I can see the
security tab and can add user accounts to this folder. But I do not
see the IUSR_computername account.

I'm trying to give read/write access to a folder that will be used for
..asp files. I've already added the IUSR_internet_gues_account.

Please help, thanks.

You don't need to add the IUSR_<machinename> account. Its created
automatically when you install Internet Information Services.

If you need to explicitly add the IUSR account to a folder, then just click
the Add button on the Security tab and type in IUSR_<machinename>

The account you say you have added already
_is_ the account you are asking how to add.
You should look at accounts in detail, and notice
the different "names" that each has. You are just
confusing the accountname with the name used
for display. Try looking at them in detail, run
control userpasswords2
