Deny access to a folder

How can I deny access to a folder when authorization mode is none. I have
xml files and I don't want then to be seen. When I restrict it from IIS, I
can't read the files from codebehind.

Why would you want to restrict it from IIS...?
Depending on userName = [machine | system] attribute in processModel section
in machine.config. .
Explicitly remove the Everyone group and give permissions to whom ever you
want reading the files including IIS..
IIS will use either ASPNET if userName = "machine" or the local system
account if userName = "system"..
Set the file permissions accordingly.. and that should work...

I am trying to deny access to this pdf directory to anyone except...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
