Best would be to rethink your directory structure and put an images
folder in each site, keeping all files relevant to a site under the
root folder. Otherwise you need a virtual directory pointing to the
correct location.

Explain "will not work" because that's exactly how you would link a
stylesheet in the root folder into a web page file in the same root
folder.

Unless you're not really doing multiple sites and you have all sites
pointing to the wwwroot folder as their root. If you have three
sites, that are actually three different sites, you should have three
different root folders and three sets of folders. And if by "document
headers" you don't mean Host Headers, then see:
