State-Changed-Why:
Hello,

This is not an Apache problem. You are struggling with
using Services on Windows NT.  From your description
I see a couple of problems.

1) Your access denied problem: When you are starting 
Apache as a service, I'm betting that you are starting
using "Local System" account.  Local System has restricted
rights when it comes to network operations.  You need
to change the "Startup" login of the service to an 
account that has access rights to the shared drives.

2) You're using the mapped drive letters in your
aliases:  This will not work when you reboot your NT
system because the drives will not be mapped before
someone logs in.  You should probably use the actual
network share name in the alias (e.g. //VVL6/Apache_org/)

Hope this helps.

Thanks for using Apache.
