I don't know if there's a way to do this.

User types in : http://www.mysite.com/companyxyz

And is essentially an alias to the company's profile webpage. The url stays the same, doesn't flip/redirect.

Behind the scenes, I need apache to take the "companyxyz" part and use it to call up e:/server-root/Profiles/companyxyz.html

Kind of like a mod_vhost_alias but for a top-level folder.. is this possible?

The answer is in your question. Alias is the right command for that.

Please see the docs

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html

or you could use mod_rewrite
