This is an Apache configuration issue.
You can set up multiple IP-based Virtual Hosts with different document roots on a
Windoze box.
In your C:\WINDOWS\HOSTS file, set up some IP addresses:
localhost 127.0.0.1
myserver 127.0.0.2
etc...
In your Apache httpd.conf file:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/public"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.2>
DocumentRoot "c:\php\scripts"
ServerName myserver
ServerAlias scripts
</VirtualHost>
For more info, RTFM for Apache.
Good luck.
