Just a quick question,
Why do I have to allow "execute" ability on my root folder to get PHP to run on M$ Personal Web Server?

Because PHP is a script that needs to be executed. Without this permission the script won't even be considered for execution and therefore your pages won't work.

However, if you are not using any PHP pages in your root folder, but only on sub folders you should define those folders individually. Only set the Execute permission where it is needed.
