How to avoid inclusion of specific dependent objects types while publishing

[mohanb]

Hi

On initiating publish of a page the system is prompting one of configuration object as dependency during publish and we've to unselect that before confirming publish. Is there any way we can configure to exclude certain object types from publishing?

Please find attached the snapshot. A configuration object is coming as a dependency during publish and we don't want that to be published. Is there any way we can avoid this?
