Cannot access virtual directory in IIS

[Renegade23216]

I set up IIS on my Windows XP machine. I set up a virtual directory so I can access one of the folders on my desktop. When trying to run the scripts in this directory, IIS gives me this error in my browser window:

Server cannot access application directory 'C:\Documents and Settings\Pentium\Desktop\Scripts\'. The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.

I know the directory exists, so it's a security issue. However, I cannot figure out the problem. I tried some suggestions I found on Google but nothing seemed to work.

Is the virtual directory security setup to allow anonymous? If so you need to give the internet guest account access to this directory.

Hello, I believe it is setup to allow anonymous. How can I give the "guest account" access?
