IUSR user for Vista Home Basic

Does Vista Home Basic have the IUSR user account?
I can't see it in the list of user names.
Can I create one if it doesn't exist?

Thanks

According to this link: http://www.iis.net/1026/SinglePageArticle.ashx

To summarize, in IIS 7.0:

The IUSR built-in account replaces the IUSR_MachineName account
The IIS_IUSRS built-in group replaces the IIS_WPG group
Since the IUSR account is a built in account, it no longer needs a password.
Logically you can think of it as being the same as NETWORKSERVICE or
LOCALSERVICE accounts.

but Homes Basic doesn't have IIS 7.0, right?
does it still have IUSR even if it doesn't have IIS?

Why would you want the IUSR account without IIS? Isn't that what IUSR is for?

The account gets created when you intall IIS7. Vista basic does not have
this option. Is there a specific reason you need an account by this name if
you are not using IIS?
