The simplest thing to do is to 1) host your IIS content files on an NTFS-formatted partition (instead of FAT) and 2) set the filesystem ACLs appropriately so that only users who are members of a particular group have access to read the files and directory contents. If you're running user accounts in the context of Active Directory then you'd create the group and add the users there. If you're using a single server in workgroup mode then you would need to create the group(s) locally to the server.
