    Suppose you have two websites:

    http://www.yourCompany.com -> c:\inetpub\mainsite\
    http://intranet.yourCompany.com -> c:\inetpub\intranet\
    and, your database is stored outside the webroots, eg in: c:\databases\

    In this case, only files and folders under c:\inetpub\mainsite\ are visible
    to the public (assuming you don't create any virtual directories). Only
    files and folders under c:\inetpub\intranet\ are visible to users of the
    intranet site.

    In neither case, can the database be downloaded by browsers directly

    Please consult the IIS online help for information on the concepts of
    creating websites...

    Cheers
    Ken
