如何从Web部署项目中的复制过程中排除特定文件夹？

I am suing VS 2005 and a Web Deployment project. The problem is that the build process takes a very long time because the deployment process copies my images folder to the deployment directory. The images folder is small in size but has thousands of files. I want to keep the images in my development folder so that I can see if the linking to the images in the HTML works. However I never upload the images because they are already there. So I am ideally wanting to exclude that folder from the deployment process.I am suing VS 2005 and a Web Deployment project
