Jerry,

"Owned by" is not the same as "running as". You need to determine the
user Apache is running as. It may be System (very bad to do), but it
could be something else, also.

If you have Apache set up as a service, look in the Services folder (or
whatever Vista calls it) and check the Properties for Apache.
