    There are two solutions for doing that:

    1- You can put your “UsersUploads” folder outside the website
    directory, so if your website exist on “c:\website\example.com” you
    can put the “UsersUploads” there “c:\UsersUploads”, Like that IIS has
    no control over this folder and its files, And your website code will
    still have access to this directory as a normal physical path.

    2- Stop IIS from serving this folder:

    IIS by default doesn’t server some website folders and files such
    App_Data, App_Code, bin, App_GlobalResourses, App_LocalResources,
    Web.config,….
