You don't end up with a bunch of stray empty index.html files, attempts to access folders are logged so you can see who is trying to poke around and it really is easy to implement. Hope it works for you. Turning off indexes is a much better solution.

I'll fix the Index to index now... AND also do the Options -Indexes I think this sounds better!

I just saw your comment on Alltipsandtricks and am right now trying to make this work! I opened .htaccess file in edit mode and am getting a warning displayed in bold red up top saying 'you am not using utf-8l language file, you should not save utf-8 data or you will get corrupted results." then there is a link for changing your language file.. clicking on that gives a drop down menu where English utf-8 is listed! Are you aware of this at all? I am right now using English is the current language! any insight would be appreciated!! thanks! hi LGR..
