To accomplish your list of needs.

1) Make the directory:

mkdir c:\xampp\sites\myproject

2) Edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts so it contains this line:

127.0.0.1         myproject

and add the following to c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf:

  NameVirtualHost myproject:80

  
  DocumentRoot c:/xampp/sites/myproject
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all  
  

3) Add the following lines to the end of c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf:

  Alias /myproject/  "/xampp/sites/myproject/"

  
  AllowOverride None
  Options None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  

4) Leave DocumentRoot, Directory, etc in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf alone to accomplish this. For reference these lines would be:

  DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs"

  
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
  

  
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
