you dont need an alias, just change the apache DocumentRoot setting from c:\wamp\www to f:\myweb.

open up your apache conf file httpd.conf ( c:\wamp\apache2\conf\httpd.conf ) and find;
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"

change to:
DocumentRoot "F:/myweb"

then find:
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">

change to:
<Directory "F:/myweb">

I've had a similar problem, how would you call this in the browser? the same as you when you've established an alias through the add alias option,[localhost], or would it be something different?
