A simple modification of the httpd.conf file prevent directory viewing:

Options -Indexes

You could even use an ErrorDocument directive in the same file to redirect
these requests to the site's homepage:

ErrorDocument 403 http://yoursite/

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html for more info.

BTW, moving a copy of index.php each time a folder is created is an easy
task with the copy() function (see: http://www.php.net/copy).

However, you are bound to experience some trouble because of restrictive
permissions; the best way therefore is to perform the copy as a super user.
Otherwise, the permissions should be (temporary) modified to perform the
copy operation.
