Securing a folder on a home apache server

[episodic]

I've read the httpd.conf in apache 1.31 a few times. I am running it on a windows box.

I want to be able to passowrd protect a few folders so I can access private stuff remotely from computers that I can't use ftp or install ftp on.

Can someone give me quick gritty instructions on how to do this?

Thanks!

I've read all of this. I used the password generator. I have the .htpasswd file in c:/apache directory. I've got the .htaccess file in the directory under htdocs that I want to protect. I get the password prompt, but when I enter my username password it fails everytime. I was looking for some hand holding isntructions if possible. Lots of these instructions seem to be tailored for unix and/or webhosting where there are different 'paths'. I don't understand how to translate the paths of windows machines to the paths of linux machines, so I may have it wrong in that way. I hope I am making sense, I just figured someone out there had a webpage entitled 'how to secure folders with .htaccess in a windows environment step by step thing' . . .
