Wordpress - Stop URL rewrite for certain directories

I have just spent an hour trying to solve this problem. Last week I changed the settings in Wordpress to use the search engine friendly URLs. Worked a treat…

…until today when I tried to access a password protected directory on my server that I’m using for testing an e-commerce application and received a 404 error. I traced the error to the rewrite function in the htaccess file at root level. The solution to the problem is simple but difficult to find via Google. Hence I thought adding another link to Andrew Rollins’ site would be useful:
