I have a feeling you're gonna say no but, is there any way, with ASP.NET
Forms-Based Authentication, to protect access to NON ASP.NET objects? For
example, if I have a directory that has .ASPX files AND, say, JPEG files
(.jpg), it would appear that if the user has the URL to one of the JPEGs, he
can still come back any time and download it without being sent to the Login
page. I assume this is because, for a JPEG file, ASP.NET is not involved at
all in the whole IIS loop.

Right?
