Hi. I need to deny unauthenticated users from accessing an excel file
located within my webapp at SecurePages/ExcelFile1.xls. I've added the below
<location> element to my web.config, but it allows unauthenticated users to
access the file. What am I doing wrong? Cannot .xls files be protected this
way?

<location path="SecurePages/ExcelFile1.xls">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

It would work with Windows Authentication only.
