    I have a website hosted on a Windows 2000 IIS server, with Classic ASP.

    I need to restrict access to certain areas. Ideally, when a visitor clicks
    on a link to a file in a certain folder, or types in the URL directly., they
    will be challenged for a username & password.

    How should I approach this?

    Currently, I have a system which works when they click on the link; but it
    can be by-passed if you know the actual URL of the file which you want.

    Is there a way to hide the URL from the visitor?

    Thanks in advance!
