Answer 1

A better and simple way is as follow :

1 - Insert in your main conf (ie Outside VHOST world) :

RedirectMatch 404 ^/myDirectory(?|\/)$

with myDirectory = css, js, images ...

2 - You can set a per directory -Indexes as follow :

Allow your "DirectoryIndex" Apache directive content to be served :

    Options Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    Order Allow, Deny
    Allow from all

and Deny directory index for others :

    Options -Indexes 
    AllowOverride None
    Order Allow, Deny
    Allow from all

with myDirectory = *, css, images, js, secret, ... following your needs.
