Answer 3

Are you running the application through Visual Studio or have it setup in IIS? If you are using Visual Studio to run it, by hitting F5, then you can try this in the web.config to allow anonymous users to access that folder:

   <location path="App_Themes/Default/MyFile.css">
      <system.web>
         <authorization>
            <allow users="*"/>
         </authorization>
      </system.web>
   </location>
