Change IIS Default Physical Path

I am new to Windows 2008 Server and IIS 7. I just installed IIS on the box. By default, the physical path for default web site is pointed to %SystemDrive%inetpubwwwroot. It is at C: drive.



I prefer to change this default path to D: drive. I found that this setting is available at default web site's Advanced settings. I am not sure if there is anything else I have to do to make this change?

          The only other change you need to do is to ensure that the account under which IIS runs is authorized to access the new directory. Under my Vista+IIS7, this account name is IIS_IUSERS. Make sure that you do not grant too many rights on this directory. It should probably be read-only for this account.
