Question

Hello,
I am using XAMPP, apacher server for my php scripts...
The default path for reading files from is xampp/htdocs/
but if, someone stores files in another drives lets say in D drive,how will he read *.html or *.php files from other drives, whereXAMPP is not installed...?

Like, if a file index.php is placed in "C:/XAMPP/htdocs/myfiles/"then its link will be "http://localhost/myfiles" OR"http://localhost/myfiles/index.php"

But if I want to share a folder "myfiles2" and all of its contentsplaced in D Drive, like "D:/myfiles2/" then how this folder will beshared? And what will be its link, which I would open in webbrowser...??? :)

Thanks...!

Any answer will be appreciated!
