[Sidro]

Hi,

But it cant. Im getting this error. Does anyone know what Im doing wrong? Heres the error message.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Access to the path "d:\accounts\JustAnExample\Passwords.xml" is denied.

Looks like permissions issue. Go to d:\accounts\JustAnExample\ directory, right click on the folder and select Properties. In the Security tab, give "write" permissions to an account, under which your web site is running.

I have the same problem, and I gave myself the permission to write. :s

I can only do it by sharing my whole drive. But that's not what I wanted

Mmm, there should be an edit option It worked out after all, just sharing 1 dir now.

HI,
When I was first exposed to this problem, I was very frustrated. Usually in a linux or apache machine, you would just check the write permission option and you'll be all set. However, for the Windows .net system, its a little different.
Anyway, after hours of searching; trial and error, I found out the problem was in the web.config file.
You have to give impersonate the ok. Its been awhile since Ive corrected the problem, so, I dont remember exactly how I edit the web.config file. All I suggest is to try modifying Impersonation in the web.config file. Good luck!
