Renaming the local IUSR account? Who cares? Create a new account with whatever name you want. Most will prefer to create a domain account anyway.

Where the default web site files are doesn't matter. You should only be using the default web site to host a link or redirection to your real websites, which would be physically located on different drives or partitions.

Although it was previosly though that WebDAV could not be disabled, as this article points out, Microsoft has just released KB article Q241520 "How to Disable WebDAV for IIS 5.0" because of a potential DOS attack described in MS Security Bulletin MS01-016 "Malformed WebDAV Request Can Cause IIS to Exhaust CPU Resources. But, a patch has been released (see security bulletin).

Happy patching.
