...and the files in the /_layouts directory.
Edwin, it may be part of the sharepoint ISAPI filter that sets the default
page to default.aspx. All "managed" paths (those controlled by sharepoint)
are run through this assembly which retrieves the contents of the pages from
SQL and then sends them down the pipe. This is a departure from the normal
model where the files are stored in the file system. Check out the SharePoint
SDK at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/sharepoint you'll find plenty of articles
describing this architecture.
