That entirely depends on what you're trying to achieve. In general,
owned by some other user (you or root for example), group to match the
webserver, and chmod so that user has read,write and group has read
only. The only exception is data/ which should be read/write to the
webserver user.

Of course, I get through writing that, and notice you're using windows
2000. So, find out the user that is running the webserver. If it's
running as you, consider making a special user just for it. But the
same applies (practically). Only directory which the webserver should
have write access is the data/ directory. The rest can be restricted
to read only (execute and read for directories, read for files).
