Actually it wouldn't be overkill or big...its really a small quick file
to setup...if you just put the index file in there, someone won't be
able to get a directory listing, but they'll still have access to your
files...if you put the htaccess file in there, they're secure...

Hmm so lets say in my "images"  folder for the site if I just put an
index
somewhere in there it prevents access?

Man that would be so cool.  I really don't need some big security thing
happening with .htaccess etc, that would be way overkill


thanks,
Marcus
