Laurent, do you mean that the default directory listing depends on the
client browser? It depends on a web server and not on a browser. I
have no example for IIS, but here's the one for Apache

Back then, the client browser used to add content to the directory listing page. I tested again right now in Firefox and IE, and apparently this is not the case anymore, so you're lucky!

I am talking about Netspace 4 and IE4, that was back in... not sure... 97 maybe?

Anyway, good luck with your project!
Laurent
