Are you sure that you are running IIS version 6 on your 2008 Server ?<br />
<br />
I believe it must be IIS 7, have a look at the link and it will help you.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a win 2008 std sp2 box with iis6.0 on.<br />
<br />
I have created a virtual directory under default website i.e test<br />
<br />
I have added a local account I want to use to access this directory. If I leave windows anonymous authentication then fine I get in the directory, but I want to set it so it prompts for a password?<br />
<br />
<a href="http:\\subdomain.domain.com/path" rel="ugc nofollow">http:\\subdomain.domain.com/path</a>&nbsp; If I turn anonymous auth off it does not prompt me for a password box and says 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials<br />
<br />
how do I get it to prompt for a username and password

IIS 6 http

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
