mod dav on w32 apache 2.0.49

i need some help setting up web dav on an apache 2.0.49 windows xpsp2
machine...

what i want is for users john, jane and joe to be able to drag and
drop files to and from a web folder storing them...not executing them
on the server just using the dav folder as a repository...

my diectory is C:/www/dav and the passwords are the same as the user
names...

please be specific in your directions...i've rtfm and i can't get it
to use the usre and password file...it just allows arbitrary access to
the repository where it lists the files and executes them...

thanks in advance for your assistance....
