Excluding a directory

[FrontRunner]

Hi everybody,

This is my first post on this forum as I don't know how to solve a problem. As co-owner of a website named GamersNation I got a problem with the .htaccess file in the root of our server. What I´m trying to do to exclude a folder named /Links/ from the rewriterules that are in the file. Currently all files with the .html extension are being parsed as being part of a Dragonfly Module, but what I would like to happen is that every .html file from the /Links/ folder is parsed as a .html file.

For example:

http://www.gamersnation.co.uk/links/links.html (now gives an error) but the links.html file is certainly in place.

I hope you can help me out. Please find below the .htaccess file
