Is there a way to ignore rewriteRules of a subdirectory?

Hi. Is there a way to ignore rewriteRules of a subdirectory? For example i have:

/.
/..
/.htaccess
/index.php
/admin/

How can i apply the htacess to the 'root' directory only? i don't want the 'admin' directory to run under the /.htaccess rules.

 RewriteOptions none

might work (not sure).

Otherwise, simply write add a rule at the beginning of your .htaccess file to immediately exit if the /admin folder is requested:

RewriteRule ^admin/ - [L]
