2.Click the Security tab, and then note the groups that are configured with deny write permissions.
3.Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
4.At the command prompt, type cacls drive_letter:\inetpub\wwwroot /t /e/ c /r "group_name" where drive_letter is the drive where your system is installed, and group_name is the name of the group that you want to remove deny write permissions for on the wwwroot folder and its contents and subfolders.
