Is it possible to directory browse an online folder that has an "index.html" file in it?

For example, I have directory browsing enabled on my website, but if I try to browse root then IE5 just opens up the default html file it finds there.

Is there a browser setting that allows me to disable this default action?

Yeah, I havent figured out a way to do it, and I have looked through all the browser settings in IE5. I just thought I might be overlooking something.

it's done server side, you can a.) rename your current index file, or b.) modify your .htaccess (for apache). i don't know what you do for winnt, but i'm sure you can do something.

i think it depends on the server which is hosting it...

So in other words, are you saying its not possible to send a request to the server to browse the directory, in stead of loading the default html document in that directory?
