you "should" seeing blank page if go http://www.yoursite.com/images there should blank index.html file there. index.html file in place stops browser showing directory listings specific folder. in other words, if remove index.html file , visit same url see page starting "index of..." , show contents of folder (i.e. images). joomla package comes index.html in folders (images, language, modules, plugins, components, etc.)
so if wanted style these pages have options. i'll list work not desirable , give reason. could:
option 1.) create own index.html file contents want , overwrite index.html files in of folders on server wanted index.html file appear. battle update joomla files overwritten resulting in custom page being lost way not desirable.
option 2.) add meta refresh tag each of index.html files wanted redirect single page created. result in having 1 page (instead of several custom index.html files example above desired index.html files point to. however, example above files overwritten joomla update way not desirable.
option 3.) add code .htaccess file redirect desired index.html files single page. create single page , name whatever want. in example name your_custom_page.html. upload server in root directory. open joomla .htaccess file , add in lines of rewriterule code in section shown below:
result = navigating http://www.yoursite.com/images or http://www.yoursite.com/includes shows contents of your_custom_page.html. i've tested on localhost. no index.html files overwritten lines of code added htaccess no worries of losing changes when updating in future.
note: not guru when comes htaccess coding if has better code or better way accomplish perhaps provide input. always make sure file/code before editing it.
