Windows 2003 server file permissions for drupal 4.7?

Hi,
I've just installed a fresh drupal site 4.72 on Windows 2003 server with PHP5 and MySQL 5. Everything seems to be functioning until I go into administration and start modifying the settings for modules and such. For instance, using Category module I'm trying to enable the taxonomy wrapper. When I click submit I get the following error message:


* warning: copy(modules/taxonomy.module.copyme) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\www\public_html\sol\modules\category\category.module on line 1500.
* The file taxonomy.module.copyme could not be copied. Unable to perform the specified operation.

If it's a permission issue, what Windows user and permissions should I be granting for the directories below?

files -
includes -
misc -
modules -
scripts -
sites -
themes -

The available permissions in Windows 2003 are:
full control
modify
read & execute
list folder contents
read
write
special permissions

What user do I grant these to? I know there's an internet guest account, should this user be given access to modify the drupal directories/files?

This is going to be an intranet site and I have ldap_module enabled in Apache to speak to active directory. I have it set to accept all domain users to view the site as guests. Could ldap cause this? I'm also going to create a public website.

A strange thing is that some modules can be modified, like I can configure content types but whenever a module needs to access a directory it seems to run into the permissions issue.

How to use drupal_http_request?

I've created Page1. Its only content is short PHP snippet which calls Page2 from drupal_http_request. Page2 contains a form. Form shows up great. When I submit the form, Page2 does not see the form data, though its parent, Page1, does. Basically I don't know how to post form data with drupal_http_request.

I've tried both:
drupal_http_request ('hello.php', array(), 'POST', $_POST);
drupal_http_request ('hello.php', array(), 'POST', 'txtTest: hello');

Probably some other variations as well. Appreciate any insight. Thanks.

Img_asst + image + image_gallery + taxonomy

I feel like I had this working once before, but after a recent upgrade I seem to have lost all functionality and the ability to group images into different galleries upon uploading them. Is there some special way I have to do this? I am using the most recent version of drupal with no significant changes to any of the necessary components. Basically everytime I attempt to view a gallery page it says there are no images in the gallery. Yet each image is cleary has a "category: some value" at the bottom. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Printer-friendly flexinode tables

What's the easiest way to get printer-friendly flexinode tables? Should I just create a super simplified theme for this? Or is there another solution that someone has found?

Thanks!
