ok fixed the path. got a 401 error. made a new htpasswd file and worked.
apparently the htpasswd tool was generating bogus encrypted passwd, server
didnt understand. tried to use the apache htpasswd tool in bin folder but
wont launch for some reason.

according to php document root it is the path. htpasswd is not under
root. it is under a folder in the alias folder. the question is when the
htaccess AuthUserFile ooks for the htpasswd file is it looking in at the
"alais" or the D:/ directory?
It is looking for it here:
xampp/htdocs/xxxx/.htpasswd
Since this is a relative path, it's probably looking for this directory
relative to ServerRoot. To avoid conflict, I suggest specifying a
complete path.

Is that really a relative path? Also, your passwords should not be
under your DocumentRoot or any Aliases.
