I think you have to set up your server to deny directory listing… mine doesn’t allow you to see directory of folders… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

mmh i guess you could set up a .htaccess… but i wonder if you can use an image which is located in a protected folder… Another solution is simply put an index.htm(l) in that folder, and the user wont be able to view the directory… stupid but werks ---
