The solution is definitely straightforward but after much googling and fiddling, finally something that works.  Go to the IIS admin and click on your site.  Once there, click on the Authentication icon:

Once it opens, click on Anonymous Authentication and then on the right hand panel click on “EDIT”.  You will get a modal window about the user to use for anonymous security:

Make sure you click on “Application Pool identity” instead of the default IUSR user.  That’s it, now the error is gone and a consistent user is used.

So I will attribute this to my lack of IIS skills, but still, quite convoluted.

LET ME DO WHAT I WANT!!!

Anyways, I found that permissions in windows 7 are absolute nonsense and just plain stupid.  Apart from that, I have been trying out the suite of live apps, like, live writer, live photo gallery and live mail.  I can totally say I really like them, they are simple, intuitive and easy to setup.  So maybe the OS is still crappy, but the apps are really good.

Anyways, that is my rant of the night, as I type this up in live writer and really liking it.
