If you're running on Windows 2000, you can specify a different set of
credentials in machine.config.

If you're on Windows 2003, you can create a new ApplicationPool in IIS that
uses credentials of your choice and assign your ASP.NET website to that
ApplicationPool. Be sure to grant the user membership in the local IIS_WPG
group on the server machine.
