IIS Question Cut vs Copy
I'm having an issues with IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Services aka Web Server) on my workstation. I'll have a folder with web pages in it outside of the Inetpub\wwwroot directory. If I move that folder there (cut and paste), and try to access it via the web server (ie http://localhost/) it reports an access denied error. If I take the same folder and copy it there (copy and paste), I don't see the access denied error. Any ideas why I would see this?

This is the error you see:

HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource
Internet Information Services

A coworker showed me this:
Under the file properties, security tab, advanced button, the *Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child object. Include these with entries explicitly defined here.* is unchecked when a file is CUT in, but when it’s COPY-ed in its checked.
