Apache handlers

[requestcode]

Currentyly if someone types in my domain name and one of my subdirectories they can get a list of files in it . What is the Apache handler that I can add to keep that from happening? I know I could probably put an "index.html" in each directory, but that seems a little too much. Thank you.

Just add:
IndexIgnore *
to the .htaccess file in your public_html root and all subdirectories will inherit it.

[requestcode]

Worked great. Thanks!

You can also use

Options -Indexes

in your .htaccess. The difference between this method and the one jimdahl presented is what the user sees: this method will give them an error page "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /dirname/ on this server" the other version will show the index page that would normally be displayed without any files--making it look like an empty directory.
