XAMPP How to hide or deny access to the htdocs folder but have access to the site in the subfolders?

hello geniuses,

no need to say that i am a newbie on KDE

I recently setup my webserver on kde using xampp, everything is running fine but my issue is the following:

mywebserver is located on a subfolder in the htdocs folder : http://0.0.0.0/subfolder1 and
http://0.0.0.0/subfolder2

if a user type in the IP address http://0.0.0.0 they are able to see the content of the subfolders 1 and 2.

What i would like is to deny access to the main folder and subfolders , but i still want the users to able to access the sites and upload and edit info ( write / delete / change access).

so basically i want to make sure that when a user type in
http://0.0.0.0
the listing will be denied.

but if he typpes
http://0.0.0.0/subfolder1 and
http://0.0.0.0/subfolder2

he should be able to view, edit , delete content.

I m sure there is a way to do that , but i couldnt find much info on google or the xampp home page.

Any help would be much appreciated
