htaccess in windows problem

[Guest_imported]

pls help, im having a problem using the htaccess file, i dont think its reading it???

in windows i cant have a file called ".htaccess" because of the leading "." so i have renamed it to "htaccess"

i have changed this in apache config file like this:
________________________________________________________
# AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
# for access control information. See also the AllowOverride directive.
#
AccessFileName htaccess

#
# The following lines prevent htaccess and htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<Files ~ &quot;^\htaccess&quot;>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
________________________________________________________

and i have put the following htaccess file in a webdirectory on my server:
________________________________________________________
<Limit>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
________________________________________________________

this should stop me from seeing anything in this folder right?
the folder it is in:

http://cam.k9logic.nl

any help would be appreciated,
thanks,

Try adding this to the end of your httpd.conf:
<Directory &quot;/path/to/web/dir&quot;>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
If your aren't allowed to use htaccess (AllowOverride none, the default), it wouldn't work. //Daniel

i get to c the picture which is good.

if i go to

http://private.k9logic.nl/main.html

i get to see the picture, (which i shouldnt), but it turns into a red cross after i refresh, it should be a red cross the moment i go there? i though this might be a refresh problem?

thanks,
