I have a asp.net application, that uses forms authentication (verified
against a database). In my web.config file, I have set the path ="/" so that
every page in the application (including pages in subfolders) need to be
authenticated before they can be reached.

My question now is, I want to have 1 page in my application that doesn't
require authentication to get to. (A help page linked to from the logon
screen).

Other than moving this help page to a directory outside my application
directory, is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
