Enabling/Disabling static content

Since no one has answered you yet, here's my best knowledge on this subject. I don't think this can be done as of yet in LoadComplete, although they might add it in a later version.
If your static content is on a different host than you variable content you might be able to get away with excluding that host during certain test runs and not excluding it during others. (See Tools > Options > Engines > HTTP Load Testing > Exclude Hosts) More likely than not though this is not the case unless you have a very big application.
What I would do would be to have two different folders in your scenario list. Just record your tests normally than make a copy of that scenario and rename it to TestName_No_Static_Content or whatever you want and just delete the static requests in that scenario. Unfortunately this is sloppy as you have two copies of each scenario, but I don't think you have any built in options other than this.
