strange 404 in ASP.NET IIS5

I have been receiving this very strange 404 lately and was wondering
if anyone else out there has had a similar problem. For some reason
when users receive this error and they hit refresh the error goes
away. Seems like a IE or ASP.NET cache problem, but can not find any
articles on it.

404 not found C:\inetpub\mySite\mySite_com_files\pictures.aspx

-MikeOh yeah, sometimes instead of mySite_com_files it will be a username_com_files or username_files. _files is on all these 404's no matter what was before it.

strange 404 error

I'm wondering if anyone has encountered something similar to the error I've pasted below. We get similar errors when someone hits a bad link etc., but the part I can't figure out here is where the string "ExpenseWatch_files" come from. The page TEPrintFrame.aspx resides in the TE folder. There is no intermediate directory and the string "ExpenseWatch_files" does not exist anywhere in our code. Also, I'm pretty sure that the user never knows that an error occurred even though it is trapped and reported.

Thanks in advance,

Sean Nolan
