Thanks, that's one solution I could use.

But there must be some way to do this with a Location directive in an .htaccess file, or a similar directive such as LocationMatch, Files or FilesMatch. If not, what's the point of allowing these directives in .htaccess files?

Create the file in any text editor (e.g. notepad)
Select 'File/Save As'.
In the 'Save as type' box select 'All Files (*.*)'
In the 'File name' box change file name to .htaccess
Click Save.

Creating .htaccess files in Windows is challenging. If I recall correctly, you can create the file from a DOS prompt by renaming another file. Or else I create it on Linux, and then copy it into Windows.
