I just don't like having user accounts on the server, for people that would
never directly use it, with all the associated folders and registry files.
It seems messy to me, and it is the reason I stopped using the IIS FTP

But I guess I might have to add some user acounts, as SharePoint is overkill
for me.
Thanks for you anwers.
