simple url hiding

Hi,
I do not want my users to know which files do what on my server from
the url:

e.g. adduser.php is for adding users but I want users to see just

http://www.mysite.com/newuser

in the browser address bar, (when the user has clicked add user button
or some such button on the previous page)

whereas actually the file http://www.mysite.com/adduser.php is doing
the work

Using a POST, all the other parameters can be hidden, now just the url
renaming or hiding remains.

The following does not seem to work:

Alias /newuser "C:/xampp/htdocs/php/adduser.php"

I am using xampp: Apache 2.0.54 with php 5.0.4

TIA,
Regards,
Joseph S.
