Use .htaccess to stop dir browsing ...

Options -Indexes

Or add an empty index.html page.

You can also do a php redirect. You can put this special "index.php" file in all your directories you want to hide and it will bounce your users to the main site.

<?php header("Location:http://www.yourdomainname.com");?>

Is adding this line in .htaccess an option ?

IndexIgnore *
