How can I don't let some users who are not administrators to access on some files in a folder (eg jpg image file format or zip files) I want to limit the none administrators users by entering the address directly in the Address bar to access my files.
However, users types saves in their own session.

Implement Membership : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/yh26yfzy(v=vs.100).aspx[^] - you don't need to use the standard DB and controls, you can add your own via a custom MembershipProvider - once you do that, you can set a web.config file in each folder which allows you to define who is allowed access to the files, and IIS will enforce it for you - so a non-admin can set a path in the address bar and IIS will just issue an Unauthorised Access exception instead of returning the page or file.

I used this for login:

C#

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("admin", false);

and used this web.config file for this folder:

XML

<pre lang="xml"><?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>
  <appSettings/>
  <connectionStrings/>
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow users="admin"/>
      <deny users="*"/>
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

But it only restricts access to *.aspx files
