My view does not load CSS/JS files outside Views folder

• <link href="@Url.Content("~/RootFolder/styles.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> for CSS and below code which did not work

  <script src="@Url.Content("~/RootFolder/jquery-1.8.3.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

Thanks for your help :-)
