Hi,
I have installed drupal on my website root at
http://www.example.org

I had another application running at
http://subdomain.example.org

I had two more php applications running at:
http://www.example.org/acc
and
http://www.example.org/alu

Now after that I have installed drupal, neither my subdomain applications nor my other applications are accessible, everytime I try to access them, i get the Drupal Page Not Found error. Why is this that drupal takes control of the whole folders and subdomains, this is causing me intensive problems, what should i do to keep the drupal installation as well as continue to access my previous folders/applications?

Do the subdirectories acc and alu have their own .htaccess files? Otherwise the rewrite rules for Drupal would still be applied for those subdirectories, so Drupal would get the calls rather than the other php applications.

Yeup, the applications have their own .htaccess files that have application specific information, what should be done, should i shift all those instructions to the drupal .htaccess file?

No, leave the individual .thacess files in the subdirs. It should work (at least it has been working for me this way).

Could it be that the .htaccess files don't get read at all? I suggest you protect the access to one of the above mentioned subdirs with a simple apache basic authentication in .htaccess to find out. If .htaccess is not read, then there is probably a misconfiguration in the apache configuration (virtual server section).
