title: ASP.NET -The current identity (Machine\ASPNET) does not have write access to 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'
body: <p>I am having this issue on my Win XP Professional Development Machine. My application is on Virtual Directory.</p>
  
  <p>The current identity (MachineName\ASPNET) does not have write access to 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'. </p>
  
  <p>I have done following so far.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    1. Must Not Use Simple File Sharing. After Changing Settings, Pls Reboot.
  
                 Open your My Computer, the on menu, select Tool &gt;&gt; Folder Option the Select View Tab,
  
                 Uncheck Use Simple File Sharing
  
    2  Adding User Permission
  
               When you create virtual directory on IIS, the actual folder you used with it must have access permission
  
               To do this, follow:
  
              select the properties of your actual folder, then select Sharing Tab
              select option Share This Folder
              specify the ShareName (commonly folder name itself)
              then select Security tab, you will see the Group and Username listed there.
              to add ASPNET just click ADD
              pop up window will appear "Select User or Group"
              Click Advance  and Click Find Now
              All Users and Group will be listed there, try to find ASPNET and select OK
              you will going to back on Security tab and select something like "RAD/ASPNET", under that you will see "Permission for ASP.NET"
              for the last step, check Full Control under Allow Column, then OK
