Please forgive the jibe, but it's perhaps suitable that you're trying
to configure server side includes.. A technology nearly as old as
yourself :-)
Explaining how vhosts work is a time consuming process, and I think
the docs would do a better job, so instead, let's try a direct answer.
Stick this at the bottom of your httpd.conf and see what happens.
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot F:/webs/mcjdreamweaver
<DIrectory F:/webs/mcjdreamweaver>
Options Includes Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES;DEFLATE shtml
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
For bonus points, you could edit your hosts file (windows hides it
somewhere like c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) so you've got a
proper name to use rather than localhost, then repeat that name in
ServerName.
Good luck!
