In addition to the installation directory, there is a Web Part resources directory that contains files used to support custom Web Parts in Windows SharePoint Services. The c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\wpresources directory contains a web.config file that is used to help control security for ASP.NET files used in Web Parts. For more information about custom Web Parts, see the Windows SharePoint Services Software Development Kit.
The following files are added to each top-level Web site or subsite when a SharePoint site is created.
All other Web site files are stored in the content and configuration database.
