yes)) this variant work in my case too )) - I also have access to all directories , but what about to load page - some file.php from (c:\) (when site root as in your example is on C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\ folder )
what path you'll see in browser?

to be more concrete - i need to make reference , from (for example) on [B]index.php[/B] to some file file.php which is on more higher level that site root (as always - [B]index.php[/B] is in site root) -
if you can do thit (make such ref) - please post here pease of HTML with link and path which you'll have in browser adress line after visiting [B]file.php[/B]
