.htaccess on WIn2000
Filename in Win2000 cannot start with dot, so we can't create ".htaccess".
How to solve this problem?

Cliff is right ... this is not the right list... the newsgroup is
news:comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows
And for the other answer --- YES you can create filenames beginning with dot,
the only trick (in all Windows file open/save dialog boxes) is to QUOTE the
filename (e.g. ".htaccess" instead of .htaccess). This has the added benefit
of not receiving .txt filename extensions as well, from applications such as
notepad.

Just use some name other than .htaccess in your AccessFileName directive,
one that doesn't start with a period.
BTW, this mailing list is for issues relating to development of the test
suite for Apache. Please direct this type of question to one of the
support mailing lists in the future.
