No, I didn't claim a button exists with that name...
Which OS are you on?
Does it have a security-tab if you view the properties of the dll?
If you click that securitytab, what do you see?

Yes, there is. Unless you are running Windows 95 or something.

By the way, if you are using apache, you shouldn't add IUSR_<Machinename>
but find out wich user runs apache first, and give that user readrights.

I don't know by heart since I only run Apache under *nix, and only IIS on
W$.
It should be all in the documentation.
Did you read any documentation?
