I think you don't like to disable directory listing (browsing) for the entire server,
Any user can enable and disable directory browsing (listing) by uploading an .htaccess file to that directory, which contains this:

[quote:bbc173e7f5][i:bbc173e7f5].htaccess[/i:bbc173e7f5]

Options -indexes
[/quote:bbc173e7f5]

i.e if you make an .htaccess file in images directory then no one can list (browse) it via browser but all images are accessible by using their URLs like this:
http://domain.com/images/sample.jpg
