Cannot access virtual directory in IIS

I set up IIS on my Windows XP machine. I set up a virtual directory so I can access one of the folders on my desktop. When trying to run the scripts in this directory, IIS gives me this error in my browser window:

Server cannot access application directory 'C:\Documents and Settings\Pentium\Desktop\Scripts\'. The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.
I know the directory exists, so it's a security issue. However, I cannot figure out the problem. I tried some suggestions I found on Google but nothing seemed to work.
