404.dll functionality in IIS6?

| Hi all,
I have an IIS6 site that will run ASP.NET that has a folder in which I need
to explicitly block all possibility of code running or being downloaded
(unsupervised novice web authors).
In IIS5 this was easy using 404.dll. I'm aware of HttpForbiddenHandler but
I'm not happy with the way this handles denied files. Or writing web.config
files.
How can this same functionality be had in IIS6?

| Hi,
Why not set the "execute" permissions to "none" for that directory?

I forgot to mention I also need SSI to work.

| OK, after some 'quick n dirty' testing it seems that IIS6 defaults to a 404
when it doesn't have an explicit handler defined for a dynamic content file.
I guess that's problem solved.
