Hi I have checked my Apache Error log and it states the following...
Directory index forbidden by rule: c:/documents and
settings/trystan/my documents/
So with this, I chanded the 'Alias' directive in the httpd.conf file
to the following...
Alias /test_alias/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/XML/"
When typing the URL http://localhost/test_alias/ I now get the
directory listing from the XML directory.
Is it a system secuirty setting to not display any directory that
resides outside of the Server-root?
I have also looked in Control Panel->Services->Apache, which is run as
the Local System Account.
What if I wanted to have my web application outside of the server
root, should this Alias command direct the enter URL to this new
directory that resides outside the server-root?
Thanks

Two notes already:
1. Don't put something in an <IfModule> block unless you have some
specific reason to do so. (The only valid specific reason is that you
expect at some point to remove mod_alias and you want your config to
continue working.)
2. Always use forward slashes in the apache config, even for windows paths.

Check the apache error log to start. The user can be determined by
looking in the "Run as" section of the services control panel for the
apache service.
