I've had similar problems with IIS4. First of all, turn indexing off if
you don't use it. Also turn off (all this at the IIS server's management
console) anything you don't really need. There's a particular setting
that's really bad and hangs on to files like a rabid pitbull, but for the
life of me I can't remember what it is!!! It's a checkbox located on the
right hand side of the web sitre properties window, below the web site
name @#$%. Anyway, look at those settings and check only the strictly
necessary.
Also, try stopping and starting ALL web services. This fixes a lot of
weird behaviour. The easiest way to stop all web services is to go into
the Services control panel and stop the web admin service. This will stop
all the others (web, ftp, news, index, etc). But then to restart them you
have to do it from the IIS management console,
Good luck.
(I'll check on that setting and tell you 'cause it caused a lot of
headaches for me).
