Your rewrite rule is removing the important ? querystring character, creating an invalid request such as /Leaflet/ms&service=WMS&... but it should result as /Leaflet/ms?service=WMS... Try a rule such as:

RewriteRule ^ms?(.*)$ http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/apps/Leaflet/mapserver/Leaflet.map$1
