I think you are looking for disabling directory browsing. You can follow below steps to disable directory browsing in IIS.
Navigate to your application in IIS Manager and select it.
In Features View, double-click Directory Browsing.
In the Actions pane, click Disable if the Directory Browsing feature is enabled.

Directory browsing disable in IIS however application log files were disclosed within the ‘log’ folder

I set the Directory Browsing to false in IIS. After that it is not possible to list files in directories on website. It works! However I can browse the file path through the http link. The following example screenshot below shows that sensitive information such as application log were disclosed within the ‘log’ folder through directory listing of the web server
How to disable file browsing also?
You can set permissions for these files so that users don’t have access. Click on your website in the sites and right-click find switch to the content view, you can see your website documents and then edit the permissions for the file. You can directly select the hidden option in the attributes. In this way, the visiting user will not be able to see it.

How do I move an application from Default Web Site onto its own site?

I have an existing application under the "Default Web Site" that is functioning but want to move it as its own "Site". What is the best approach to this as the functioning site has a lot of configuration to it.
I've tried creating a new site and copy/pasting the folder contents(c:/inetpub/wwwroot/application) over but that does not work.
In theory, if I could simply drag the application out of the "Default Web Site" and drop it to the "Sites" folder, that would be nice...
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
All you have to do in IIS.
Right Click on Sites --> Add web Site (Make up a name for it)
Just set the physical path to the location of the application (You don't even have to move the application)
If you have an old website you want to move to a different folder (like on a different hard drive w/ more memory), you can:
copy the folder to the website to the new location (making sure to reset all the file permissions b/c they are often not automatically copied),
open the site in IIS,
click "Basic settings" in the "Actions" panel on the right hand side of the screen,
change the "Physical path"
click ok
Do an app pool recycle afterwards to ensure everything takes effect

Enabling SSI on IIS

According to this page, I should be able to:
<!-- #include file = "..\myfile.htm" -->
Q: How do I enable SSI on IIS7?
Edit:
Oh, I see what my problem is: I'm on a VPS and they have the "Turn Windows Features on or off" disabled.
Try this:-
1) In the IIS Manager, go to "Web Service Extensions" and set server-side includes to "Allowed."
2) In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the "Web Sites" folder (for all sites) or right-click a specific Web site, and click "Properties."
3) In the "Documents" tab, make sure that index.shtml is included in the default content page list.

Can't browse website in iis6

When I browse my website it shows me a directory listing instead of web pages:
How do I stop this happening?
Looks like you've got Directory Browsing turned on:
Open the site properties and select the Home Directory tab. Uncheck "Directory Browsing".
If you're seeing a directory listing rather than the Default.aspx page being loaded up then you're missing "Default.aspx" as a default document. Check out Setting Up Default Documents in IIS6.

Loading a web site to IIS

A developer just send me a running website files from IIS directory. I want to know if I can run the website on my PC. The file contain "Default.aspx" file, which I assume is of some importance.
I want to know if it is possible to run the website on my PC, I have installed IIS and I placed the file in the wwwroot folder, but unfortunately I dont know how to proceed from here.
Can someone please point me to the right way to continue with this task.
Thanks in advance
First time use of IIS
Now that IIS is running on your system, it should have defaulted to running on port 80. You can test this out by going to http://localhost/
The file you have placed in the wwwroot directory Default.aspx is an ASP.NET application. You need to go to IIS and convert the directory it is stored into a web application.
Now when creating web applications, it is better to create them in another folder other than your wwwroot folder, and in the case of this tutorial it is easier. Move your Default.aspx into a folder named 'webapp', or something of the like.
To convert it into an application, do the following:
In the Server Manager, expand the
'Roles' item in the tree
Expand the 'Web Server (IIS)' item
Click on 'Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
In the window on the right hand side, you will need to open up your server. In my case, my server is called WIN2008R2. Your server name will be located inside the 'Connections' pane. Expand your server in the tree
Expand the 'Sites' item
Expand your newly created site. There should only be one there, and the item will have a globe next to it
Now right click on your 'webapp' item which will have a folder next to it, and click 'Convert to Application'. Then leave all the properties the same in the window that comes up and click OK.
You have now created a new web application. By going to http://localhost/webapp you should see it working.
You need to configure IIS to host an ASP.NET website.
You can find information about configuring IIS here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178477.aspx
Another option is using the Cassini web server (instead of IIS). You may find it easier to configure: http://ultidev.com/products/cassini/
