No, that's not a good idea. The images may not show up on your site.
Ask your host to turn off directory browsing. It's normally default
setting, but some may not have it set that way.

| Would it work to locate the "images" folder in the "private" folder?
|
| Here is a similar topic in FP help:
|
| "Hide a web page"
| If you do not want site visitors to see certain pages in a web, you can
hide
| these pages by placing them in the hidden folder _private, a folder that
is
| in every web site.
|
| 1.. In Folders view, select the pages you want to hide.
| How?
|
| Hold down CTRL, and click the pages you want to select.
|
| 2.. Drag the selected pages to the _private folder.
| Microsoft FrontPage automatically updates any hyperlinks to and from
these
| pages to reflect their new location.
|
| Tip
|
| You can create subfolders in the _private folder to organize pages,
because
| subfolders in the _private folder are also inaccessible to Web browsers
