How do I allow access to my directories ?

I want clients to my website to be able to follow directories to the items of interest.
example:

Were you ever able to get this to work?

I've read (http://www.xitami.com/wiki:directory-lists) and understand that you need to have a file called ".httpdir" in the folder that you want to allow directory lists BUT I'm running X5 on Windows XP SP3 and I still can't get directory lists to work. I've even added the http.css to the webpage root (but that's not really required). The .httpdir files were created by a simple "copy con .httpdir" and they really are there but they don't seem to have any effect.

I've used Xitami since the mid-90's but this is my first time on X5.

Make sure the .httpdir file can be read by the X5 process. What happens when you try to access the directory URL? Do you get a 404 error or something else?

I get an X5 error page that says: You are not authorised to access this resource. Not allowed to list contents of directory

I'm assuming that the .httpdir file can be read by the X5 process as it's just a regular text file. I created the .httpdir file by doing this at the command prompt: copy con .httpdir <enter> hi<enter> <ctrl z>
