Hi Atul,
You can disable viewing certain files like so in the config....
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>

Also, look for the "user" and "group" in httpd.conf to see what user the
server is running as. However, I am not sure what affect this has if you
are running this on Windows.
Have fun!
Lewis
