I was told to give permissions to the following special
directories. Where are these located. I donot see them on
my web server. Thanks for your help.

Administrator and System full control

CGI (Athenticated Users, execute only)

SCRIPT (Athenticated Users, execute only)

INCLUDE (Athenticated Users, execute only)

STATIC CONTENT (Athenticated Users, execute only)

I would guess you have to create them - IIS doesn't have these by
default

(aside from 'scriptS')

I think this the basic guideline for securing web content. and it's
recommending you set the permission as listed. group all images, cgi files
to its respective directory and then control from there.
