Viewing folder contents

Have researched the http.conf changes I need to make to view what's in the
folder if no index page is there. This is my home server on XP pro for
devlopment purposes, so I can't be bothered to keep developing index pages.

From what I read, I have to put in "Options +Indexes", but I still get the
403 Forbidden message.

Is there another reason I could be missing ????

Thanks

** Part of conf file below **

<Directory />
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "E:/~htdocs">
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Really useful newsgroup this.
