So, set the server up correctly, so visitors can't do that anymore.

They still can, you know. If they arrive on a page, they can simply snip
part of the URL from the address bar. You want to hide the address bar too?
I had this problem and I do not have access to set the server up properly
(cheap host; free as a matter of fact). What I did was put an index.html
in every 'directory' there is in my site. If a visitor types an URL to a
directory without a filename this index.html will open. So no visitor gets
to see my directories and files lists.
