I would look at everything in the program files directories to find file versions and look for configuration files that might have embedded passwords (plaintext or encrypted). SQL scripts or backup scripts could contain passwords. Also user profiles for stored passwords, cookies, and lists of recent websites/documents.
Without being able to do directory listings a lot of this won't work. Robin

The server was Win 2003 and I read the obvious win.ini and boot.ini. I then read the Administrators desktop.ini to prove I could. I tried but couldn't read the registry files (not expected but worth trying). The web server was an unusual one, part of an app so I couldn't find the web root. The IIS web root just had an "Under Construction" file in it so nothing interesting in there. So, without being able to do directory listings to see what is there, what files would you read on this box and why?
