Use mod_rewrite with the [F] flag and a pattern that excludes subdirectories.

but with mod_rewrite I can use indexes?

[jdMorgan]

Yes, you set Options +Indexes to allow display of server-generated directory indexes, and then use mod_rewrite to disallow serving the index of the top-level directory only. The mod_rewrite rule needs a RewriteCond that looks to see if the request is for a subdirectory. If so, the rule is bypassed. If the request if for the top-level directory, then the rule is applied forbidding access to the index.

An alternative is to simply put a default index page into the top-level directory; The server will only generate a directory index listing if there is no "home page" in the directory.
