web.Config Deny access not working???

[Tim::..]

Hi can someone please tell me why this web.config file doesn't deny access to
all for the folder it is in???

I have the web.config file in a folder called contents but for some reason I
can still access this folder. I am using Forms authentificatio n and I just
can't get it to work!

PLEASE help...

Thanks
....web.config. ..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>

<system.web>

<compilation defaultLanguage ="vb" debug="true" />

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnl y" />

<authorizatio n>

<allow roles="Granted" /> <!-- ONLY USERS ALLOWED THAT BELONG TO THESE
GROUPS -->
<deny users="*" /> <!-- Deny all users -->

</authorization>

<trace enabled="false" requestLimit="1 0" pageOutput="fal se"
traceMode="Sort ByTime" localOnly="true " />
</system.web>

</configuration>

Care to describe it, Tim ?

( Just so others don't make the same mistake... )
