DirBrowseFlags
The DirBrowseFlags contains flags, as seen in the Flags section, that control whether directory browsing is enabled, how much directory and file information is provided if browsing is enabled, and whether there is a default page in the directory.
Note
If a client accesses the directory and does not provide a file name, and the EnableDefaultDoc flag is set to true, the server will look for a default file specified in the DefaultDoc property. If a default file does not exist in the directory, and the EnableDirBrowsing flag is set to true, then directory browsing is enabled.
