Thanks again for your time.

You are making a confusion between virtual paths and real paths.
WHen protecting some area in your web site, you should enter the virtual path. For example, if you want to protect, http://yoursite/path , you don't have to worry about the real location on the hard disk of that directory. Just protect /path .
If you want to protect the contents of the htdocs/ directory , you should enter / as the path to protect (contents of htdocs/ are browsable using http://yoursite/ ).
Please refer also the the documentation for more examples and explanations.
