Yup, I have the latest Delphi (5) and have applied the service pack. OK, I
will try setting the access to read only and see what happens.

You need to either get the latest Delphi, which I think fixes it, or change
the registry unit/class so that when it opens it, it opens it READ ONLY not
read write. I've had this problem previously :)

There is not "current user" under IIS - its the internal system user.

Nope, the users are unrelated. Try an ini file in a specific location, or
the registry.

No idea. you could try it, tho I doubt it would work.
