Why doesn't this Apache directive work?

[filburt1]

Alias /desktop "c:\documents and settings\arien talabac\desktop\"
<Location "/desktop">
    AuthName "Arien's Computer"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile conf/users.pass
    Require user arien
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</location>

I get a 403 Forbidden error, even if I get rid of the Location block or if I change the \s to /s.

You must always use forward slashes. And try removing the last slash(in "c:/.....desktop/").

No difference.

Oh. Ctrl-S doesn't save in Notepad. Got it.
