prevent directory browsing except through WebDAV

Well, if you uncheck "directory browsing", then no, WebDAV browsing also
does not work. I just thought there might have been something I didn't know
about to prevent the former yet permit the latter. I want to permit file
transfer and when clients mistakenly open the folder as a directory listing
in IE, they have no idea what happened and can't figure out how to browse
the folders. I suppose then I could create a default web page and dump it in
that folder with a hyperlink to open as a web folder.
