By 'root directory' I meant the document root, where index.html is.

Riva,
I think Sheila may be on the right track. However, the place to look for
the .htaccess file would be inside the 'images' directory rather than the
'root' directory for this type of problem. Some hosts allow a .htaccess
file for each folder/directory that is to be managed (such as password
protected directories, etc.)
Look inside your 'images' directory, and if there is a .htaccess file, then
BACK IT UP first and then delete it.
You will then need to create a blank 'index.html' file and upload it into
the 'images' directory. That will stop snoopy surfers from being able to
simply 'browse' the directory. It appears to me that this is currently
controlled at the server level because I get an error message mentioning a
missing 'index.htm' file. That lead to my suspicion that there may be a
.htaccess file managing the folder.
If no problems result from deleting the file, you may want to search for a
script to block image scrapers if that is a concern. There are many free
ones available - including those written in Perl and php.
If deleting the .htaccess file from inside the 'images' directory does
create a problem (it shouldn't), you can always restore it with the backup.
HTH,
Tom
