Is there anyway to reference a file in a directory outside of the xampp htdocs directory?

I have xampp on E:\xampp\htdocs and I'd like to be able to have someone able to directory browse E:\folder or E:\documents and settings\user\Desktop\Folder

Would i be able to use Windows specific paths like %appdata% etc? I've tried using http://ip.ip.ip.ip/file:////e|/folder and similar variants to no avail.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mo ... html#alias

(Or you could make some symlinks.)

No.

This is perfect Wiedmann. I thank you much!
