Yes, you're correct. You never need to give administrative rights to the IUSR account on a production server.

IMO, it would be better to remove the account from the Admin group again and find the real cause. However, if it's a development machine, it doesn't matter much as the risk is probably quite low (then again: a nice buggy for each loop using the FileSystemObject can easily erase your entire hard drive.... ;) )
