When a visitor accesses a directory (rather than a page) on your web site, the browser typically displays the directory’s index page. If no index page exists, the browser displays a list of the files in that directory. The Index Manager enables you to control how directories on your website are displayed.

3. Select the directory name that you want to modify.

5. Click Save.
