In Windows web hosting environment, an user is possible to use ASP
program to read other users' files through web browser. Can anyone
give an advice to fix this issue?

Thanks a lot.

Yes - fix this by not using IUSR account for each website. Use custom
anonymous accounts for each website and set NTFS permissions appropriately.
Additionally, set each website to run in high isolation (separate COM+
application) and configure each application to run as a separate user
account (can be the same as anonymous access account) rather than IWAM.

Microsoft has hosting guidelines on their website on how to configure IIS in
shared hosting environments.

Cheers
