Hi,

Put a index.html in the folder.....or if you have cpanel, you can manage it from there.

Cheers

Use a .htaccess file

Putting a blank index.htm file in the folder will do.

You can also use this script in the index.htm page of /images/ folder to redirect users from /images/ folder to main page.
