Modifying metabase?

Hello,
I tried to load a web page from my local IIS, and got this error:
-----------------------------
Failed to access IIS metabase.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to
access IIS metabase.

The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access to the IIS
metabase (e.g. IIS://servername/W3SVC). For information on modifying
metabase permissions, please see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904.
-------------------------------------

I followed the instructions in the link, but still get the error. How do I
determine which "process account" is used to run ASP.NET 2.0?

Thanks for any advice.

While watching Task Manager while trying to load my web page, I noticed a
'IWAM_<computerName>' user. I used that name, and can now load the web page
using ASP.Net 2.0.
