Add static content to umbraco site

Damn, Umbraco keeps on trying to take over my static content!

How can I quickly upload some standard html or aspx pages which DONT require any Umbraco jiggery pokery (JP)?

Don't worry, its easy...simply add a few "reserved" paths to your web.config.

Look for something like:

<add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="/umbraco,/install/" />

And change to suit your needs. For example:

<add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="/umbraco,/install/,/my-custom-directory/" />
