Hi,

I used htaccess for some of my clients' sites which are hosted on Unix and RAQ3 servers only.

Perhaps the below link will help as it mentioned about using password protect on NT servers via cgi-bin directory/folder, the equivalent to using .htaccess on Unix/RAQ3 servers.

Hope this helps.

Access control on an NT or Win2k web server is via NTFS permissions. Custom error handler pages (404, 500, etc.) are configured using the Internet Services Manager (point it to whatever .html file you like).

Of course, if you're using apache on NT / Win2k, then there's still the .htaccess file I believe.
