There is increasingly more cons than pros in allowing browsing access to the web servers' web directories. The black hats could use this to crawl for information or even use this as the gateway to launch an attack.

Here's how to disable web directory browsing on MS IIS. Tested on IIS 6.

- Open up IIS
- select the web site, right click on it and select properties.
- uncheck "Directory Browsing".
- restart web service.

And you are done with configuration. :)
