Preserved Topic: Problem with htaccess

I run apache server on a win2k OS.
I have created a .htaccess file with this in it.. it doesn'n seem to work..
___________________________________________________________________
AuthUserFile C:/program/apache group/apache/passwd/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "E-mail"
require user NOH
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
___________________________________________________________________

I have tried to replace the baskslashes with ordinary slashes but that doesn't work either!

yeah, good linkin' emps.
the main problem here is, that the windows file system doesnt like files that start with a ' . '
but check the thread, everything explained there!

Thanx!

At work this worked but when I change AllowOverride to All its says:
"Illegal override option on".
Hmpf....?
Help!
*fixed*
