I don't think that the virtual directory thing is the problem.
I think the problem is that:
a) you have the vdir pointing to c:\documents and settings\<username>\
-and-
b) IIS is not processing the pages under your username - it is running under
IUSR_<machinename>, which doesn't have access to your user folder (only you
do, and local administrator accounts).
Try moving that virtual directory somewhere else, where the
IUSR_<machinename> actually does have permissions.
OK, if it is a vdir problem, then when you do the include, and you use the
virtual keyword, then the path needs to start from the webroot, and include
the vdir name, eg:
<!-- #include virtual="/vDirNameHere/myIncludeFileHere.asp" -->
Virtual always starts from the root of the website, and then your virtual
directory is underneath the root, so you need to include that, then the path
to the include file.
