 * Hi,
 * I have a question; I have a folder on my server that I use for giving links to
   people to download files, etc. Say for example website.com/clientdata and I might
   give somebody a link to website.com/clientdata/photo.jpg
 * However, when I send a link like that WP redirects to a Not Found page, even 
   if the link is correct. I’m sure this has something to do with redirects, but
   I have no clue how to exclude 1 specific folder from the WP regime. My provider
   uses ISAPI for rewrites.
 * Any thoughts on this?

 * You may try:
 * -deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix the problem.
   If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit.
 * -if the problem does not go away, try switching to the default theme (“twentyten”)
   for a moment by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The
   idea is to force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any 
   theme-specific issue.
