HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden

Running IIS 5 on W2K. Did not have FrontPage Server Extensions installed and everything (all ASP pages, etc) ran fine. Installed the server extensions and then received 403.1 errors on the ASP pages. So I went in and changed the Execute Permissions on the root web directory to "Scripts and Executables" but it is still giving me the same error when I try to access any ASP pages:

HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
Background:
You have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.

Any ideas on what else I can do?
 
I ran the IIS Lockdown tool and in the process, it managed to reconfigure some settings and *after* that point, when I changed the Execute Permissions, the server responded correctly. So, problem solved.
