Subject: finding webroot on IIS

hello all,

Recently i came across an IIS webserver that i found to be vulnerable to

the

Unicode attacks. However, i cannot determine the webroot of this drive,

and

therefore i am having troubles reaching a full comprimise.  The directory
"C:\Inetpub" exists, but the only contents of this directory is the
folder "mailroot".

Additionally, when i connect and request the root document (ie GET / ),
it returns the string: "<% Response.ContentType = "text/plain" %> HELLO"

Does anyone come across anything like this before, and what would be the
simplest method of determining the webroot?

thanks in advance
