Note:  If you receive a message that an object named "Users" cannot be found, click Object Types, click to select the Groups check box, and then click OK twice.

Note:  If you do not want to give the Everyone group and the Users group the Bypass Traverse Checking user right, you may be able to resolve this issue if you give the IIS_IUSRS group the Bypass Traverse Checking user right. To do this, replace "Everyone;Users" above with "IIS_IUSRS".
