How can file permissions in Apache/PHP be adjusted to restrict access to the root directory on Windows systems?

To restrict access to the root directory in Apache/PHP on Windows systems, you can adjust the file permissions in the Apache configuration file or using .htaccess files. This can be done by setting the appropriate permissions for the root directory to deny access to unauthorized users. Additionally, you can use PHP to check the user's permissions before allowing access to certain files or directories. 

// Add this code to your .htaccess file in the root directory
<Directory "C:/path/to/root/directory">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>
