Redirect folder to site home page

Trying to use .htaccess to redirect people snooping into my indexs/folders to a page

Ex; if someone found site.com/pics/1.jpg and tried to see site.com/pics they would be redirected to a url of my choosing or homepage

Thanks in advance

To allow browsing to a specific file such as site.com/pics/1.jpg but prevent the directory url (site.com/pics/) from showing all files in that folder, place a .htaccess file in the pics folder and fill it with:

Options -Indexes 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^pics/?$   /newpage.html

The -Indexes will forbid folder surfing, and the RewriteRule will redirect to site.com/newpage.html
