mod_rewrite local windows machine not working.

apache 2.4 and php 5.5 on windows local machine.

First time using mod_rewrite. I have read everything I can find. I can't get this to work. I have made setting changes in httpd.conf as I have read others have done. Nothing has worked. I am not getting any sign of life out of this. Can someone help me please. Thanks.

http://localhost/myfolder/index.php
http://localhost/myfolder/index.php?p=register

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^register/?$ index.php?p=register [NC,L]
</IfModule>

I am expecting this:
http://localhost/myfolder/register

did you enable the module?

a2enmod rewrite from the command line

That might be linux only though...

also, check that you may have to change the AllowOverride variable from "none" to "all"

Thanks for your response.
Your first suggestion. I do not know how to do. By command line I guess you mean cmd.exe.
I tried everything in your second post. I saw no change in behavior. Still don't work.

I am using apache 2.4 not 2.2. Maybe that is the problem. Maybe I should install an older version. I don't know if an older version will work with php 5.5 though.

My directory looks like this:

apache24 folder
htdocs folder
mysite folder
includes folder
modules folder
.htaccess
index.php
