Classic ASP - Windows Vista - IIS7 - Permission issue

I've installed II7 + ASP Classic on my Vista business pc as I want to develop my own pctools (automate some boring manual tasks).

Unfortunately, every time I try to WRITE into a .txt file I get this error:

Path out = C:\Users\Carlos\Storage\bpmbck.txt

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

Permission denied

/pctools/cleanfb.asp, line 53 

Line 53 contains set fileout = fs.OpenTextFile(pathout, ForWriting)

Given that I'm running as an ADMIN and that the target folder is owned by me, I don't understand why this is happening.

I've googled the net to find a similar basic problem (write to a text file) but I only find more complex ones (databases, mail, etc..).

An can anyone help me, please?

Give "users" WRITE access to the folder.

The identity/account for the application pool under which the site is running needs to have write permissions to that folder.

This is different from the user you are logged in as.
