How Do I Remove the IISADMPWD folder in IIS 6.0

I've attempted to remove the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd" directory in accordance with Experts Exchange reference to URL "http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetserver.iis/browse_thread/thread/555deab791f877b6". But when attempting to run the "adsutil.vbs" command a text document pops up and the command doesn't seem to execute. Thus my folder keeps reapearing after a system reboot. Can someone please provide me direction on how to permanetly delete the "IISADMPWD" directory. A quick response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Do you have any other MS applications installed on this machine?
A number of MS's web based applications use this directory to enable users to change their passwords.
If you have his then you will either have to uninstall the app from this machine, remove/uninstall this capability from the application or be stuck with the directory.
