As the title says.

Can some give me instructions how to do this as I cannot see how. I am used to IIS5 & 6.

Also when I try to add write access to the folder in explorer there is no Add option to add a user ie ASPNET account.

This is on Vista

You need to grant access to the IIS_USRS group (for the AppPool) and the IUSR user (for anonymous access / static content).

IIS 6 and IIS 7 are using NETWORK SERVICE as account for access to the system resources. You need to give rights to this account

My question is how, in the IIS UI?
You need to switch to the content view and select required folder there. After in the right panel you can use edit permissions link.
This is not true for IIS7.5 / Windows 7
It is true for Win 7. Select required site and so on.
@Sly - Sorry, I meant NETWORK SERVICE is not true for Win7.
