Alright, I've made some progress but have hit a brick wall. I have done the
following on the server:
-shared inetpub\wwwroot
-set up a user account for each user "s1user" that is a memeber of VS
Developers and Debugger Users
-created a folder "s1folder" in inetpub\wwwroot
-given s1folder full control file share permissions to s1user
-web shared s1folder with read/write/modify access
I would like to be able to use Visual Studio.NET to create a project for
s1user in s1folder - without letting s1user create a project in s2folder.
I can map the drive from the user's computer without problems using the
s1user login, but I am still getting a "UNC share ... does not exist or you
do not have access" error when making a Web Application project on the server
in Visual Studio. I'm guessing this is because Visual Studio is attempting
to map the folder as the user on the client computer rather than as s1user
(we're on different workgroups). Is there a way to force Visual Studio to
let you use a different login when it's making the project? This would be
our ideal solution.
I can't find any info on how Visual Studio makes its connections and/or what
it requires to be set up, so it's been a lot of trial and error. There's
lots on how to do it on a local machine, but I can't find anything on how to
do it client/server. If anyone has any links I'd appreciate it.
Is it necessary to use a domain server instead? This is not our ideal
solution, for other reasons, but would it work?
Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to use Visual Studio to create ASP.NET projects on a web
server, without giving the various people that will be doing this full
administrator privliges? Each user will need to have independent folders
that they can modify (ie, one user cannot change the contents of another
user's folder). Access to the server must be strictly limited for each user
(preferably to just adding/removing ASP.NET projects).
Having a similar problem with Frontpage.
This is to be used for training.
