Ray, I believe you are correct and the difference is minor, Authenticated Users is different from Everyone in that it does not include anonymous accounts such as IUSR (link wrapped). http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netmgmt/netmgmt/requirements_for_network_management_functions_on_active_directory_domain_controllers.asp "Maybe it has to do with the difference between anonymous users and authenticated users. I do not know exactly what is meant by anonymous users; I just remember seeing something about anonymous browsing in the online security tester thing on MS's site. And this didn't have anything to do with IUSR accounts or anything like that. It's a different kind of anonymous. (That's not anonymous anyway.)"
