Hello,

i have a question, i am using Process Monitor to diagnose SharePoint performance issues.

I am getting a lot of the following types of messages

11:27:54.3064738 w3wp.exe 3160 CreateFile C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\WSS\VIRTUALDIRECTORIES\{site}443\SITES\{SC}\STYLE LIBRARY\BRANDING\JS\BOOTSTRAP.MIN.JS PATH NOT FOUND Desired Access: Generic Read, Dis, Options: Sequential Access, No Buffering, Attributes: RE, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a, Impersonating: NT AUTHORITY\IUSR

This only occurs with files stored in SharePoint (Style library/document libraries), i have seen this behavior on multiple servers so it appears to be working by design, does anyone have an explanation as to why this happens? is there also anyway to stop this happening?

my concern is that this happens on every page load accumulating to a lot of wasted disk reads.

Thanks for your time!

Ben
