<Tip type="Apache on Win32" author="Jakob Doelling>
In the main conf file of Apache, i. e. httpd.conf you can alter the name
of access file iun the main server config section to name.htacess. In
order to modify more easyly, link the extention ".htaccess" to notepad.
The other way is if presentation server is on Unix, upload your access
file(s) and rename it on the remote site to .htaccess.
