You can use the IIS Manager and disallow anonymous access to the folder
containing the Interdev project.
IIS will then use your Windows' username to make the web accesses. Also,
make sure you have created matching user names for the VSS database so
FrontPage can access the VSS files.

You're right. Interdev talks with FPSE and FP uses COM and IVss automation
interface to perform source control operations on files.
VSS caches file statuses and this might be a reason why you're checking out
files in IIS manager but you don't see the changes immediately in Interdev.
Other possible reason might be that anonymous user has a working folder set
and it checks out the files in a different working folder than the temporary
folder used as a cache by Interdev.
