I know there is no such thing as total security but I seem to remember, way back when I was taking HTML classes that there was some way to protect your directories from being searched through. I want to keep people from directly acessing my image directories how do I do this. Was it something like placing an "index.html" file in the directory, is that right?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Walker<!--content-->Assuming index.html is setup a default document for the directory, that will work for simple protection. Depending on what web server is being used and if any customization has been done, default documents can vary. (IIS = default.asp, etc).

I may try putting an ".htaccess" file in one of my other directories to see what that does.<!--content-->
