<tip type="IIS" author=".jeff">

moving folders and files in and out of your webroot?  running in to problems
where attempting to access these folders and/or files and you getting a
username/password dialog?

that's because these folders and files don't have the "everyone" group
assigned security rights to them.  so, add the "everyone" group.

right-click the most top-level object that's not assigned to the "everyone"
group, choose properties.  go to the security tab.  click the add button.
find the "everyone" group from the list above and it to the list below.  ok
your way out.
