mod rewrite - How to use .htaccess in WAMP Server?

Question

I searched in web for 2 days and I try to use htaccess in my local wamp but I can't! I know there is something wrong but I don't know where...

First: I activated "rewrite_module" in the apache menu, then I checked the phpinfo page and I saw that module added to its "Loaded Modules" part.

Second: I checked the httpd.conf and made some changes, it is the result (just important parts):

ServerRoot "c:/program Files/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.11"
Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80
DocumentRoot "c:/program Files/wamp/www/"

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride None
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "c:/program Files/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Next: I made an alias to my workspace. Here is contents of its .conf file:

Alias /basic_test/ "e:/Projects/basic_test/"

<Directory "e:/Projects/basic_test/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Next: I place a simple "index.php" and "test.php" in my workspace root and tested the alias by this addresses: --> "localhost/basic_test/index.php" --> "localhost/basic_test/test.php" They worked perfectly...

Finally, I added a ".htaccess" file to the root of my workspace (beside index.php), and I wrote in it:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.php$ test.php
</IfModule>

But the problem occurred when I tried to test the ".htaccess" by this address: --> "localhost/basic_test/index.php"

It shows an error page with this message:

Click on Wamp icon and open Apache/httpd.conf and search "#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so". Remove # as below and save it

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and restart all service.
