I had a similar issue with basically all files that weren't aspx files. I wasn't
as concerned with users being able to see the URLs (in the status bar, view
source or whatever though).

I went into IIS and added a filetype handler for the files that I wanted to
protect (i.e. gif, jpg, pdf, etc) and pointed the handler to the .Net Framework
aspnet_isapi.dll that all of the other .net pages are handled by. Use the others
(aspx, ashx) to find the correct location of the dll you should point to.

Works like a charm now, all my files are protected for that project. Took me 5
minutes...
