SYMPTOMS
========
When you use Personal Web Manager, directory browsing can only be enabled or
disabled at a global level. In other words, all content, whether in the root
directory or a virtual directory, will either have directory browsing enabled or
disabled as a whole.
WORKAROUND
==========
To enable or disable directory browsing for a single virtual directory, perform
the following steps for each virtual directory that you want to change:
1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the directory that you want to change.
2. Right-click the directory and then click Properties.
3. Click the Web Sharing tab.
4. Click Share this folder.
5. Make sure that the name of the virtual directory is the alias you want to use
when accessing it from a browser (you may want the name to be different).
6. Click to highlight the name of the alias you created, and then click Edit
Properties.
7. To enable directory browsing, make sure the check box is selected (checked).
To disable directory browsing, make sure the check box is unchecked.
8. Click OK when you have finished making your choices, and then click OK again
to return to Windows Explorer.
STATUS
