This sounds like an NTFS file permission problem.  In Windows Explorer
browse to the folder where your 'archives' directory resides in your website
structure.  Right-click, choose Properties, go to Security tab.  Click the
'Permissions' button and make sure either the EVERYONE or
IUSR_YOURMACHINENAME user(s) has at least Read access to this folder and
sub-folders.

If you have security set to other folders within your website it might also
be useful to go into IIS and enable only anonymous access to the 'archives'
folder.  Windows 2000/NT will *always* choose NTFS authentication over
anonymous access if given the choice.  Of course, make sure you test
security settings after making changes to prevent holes appearing.

Hope this helps...

Chazzozz!!
