How to restrict opendir from going past root folder?

I am trying to simulate shared hosting on my local server by blocking off the root directory.

I've tried:

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/root">
Options -Indexes
</Directory>

in httpd.conf (restarted Apache)

and 

Options -Indexes

in the .htaccess of htdocs.

What do I need to do to restrict opendir from accessing beyond this folder?
