Nope, still not solved yet.
Those are some interesting questions you've raised.  It'll have to wait
until tonight as the CGI apps are in use all day every day.

I noticed that there are two users on the system IUSR_xxx and IWAM_xxx,
where IUSR_xxx is used for anonymous web access, but IWAM_xxx is used by
IIS for running out of process applications.  I'll try logging in as
both of these users tonight and seeing what happens.

Regards,

Bevan
