.htaccess question

I'm using the dev-postnuke short urls on my .726 site.

I want to have a subfolder that is just static pages I created. But because of the .htaccess in my root, the .html extensions don't work.

I heard I can create a new .htaccess file in mysite.com/subfolder/.

My question is, do I have a blank .htaccess or do I need to put some directive such as Rewrite Engine Off or somesuch.

Thanks!

You might be able to use:

RewriteOptions inherit

I've also administered some setups where you will need to specify the rewrite base something similer to:

RewriteBase /subfolder

Of course this is contengent on your particular setup and what is allowed and not allowed in your .htaccess files.

I put ReWriteEngine Off in the .htaccess file of the subfolder and it seemed to work.

But somehow it just seemed too easy...
