Or just drop in an index page. It's just like how your site's home page (index.html probably) is loaded without having to type its name in the URL. Going to example.com really loads example.com/index.html.

If your index pages are called index.html, then make a new empty file called index.html in your folder. If you go to example.com/folder1/index.html you should see a blank page. It should load the same blank page if you go to example.com/folder1/. Of course you can also add text to the page if you want.

It's probably the simplest method, and should work on any web server (just change the file name to suit your server's settings). If you want more flexibility than this technique gives, then look into more sophisticated configuration like with a htaccess file or more, as brady.k says.

You need to use a .htaccess file (it's the easiest way), but it blocks the whole directory. To do something more complicated, you're going to have to use a language like PHP, ASP, etc.
