Hiding htaccess?

When I browse to my .htaccess file:

http://members.mysite.com/.htaccess

Explorer asks me if I would like to open or download it, and then lets me?! Obvioulsy thus exposing the location of the password file.

Its CHMOD to 644 and I got the following code in it:

<Files .*>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

How do I stop this from happening????

Let's see how badly mangled this will be:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>

Yeah, that's what I've already got in - I tried to write that in the post above but it got parsed I think.

Anything else I'm missing?

That should be all you need. In fact, I can't believe it wasn't already in your httpd.conf

The server does have AccessFileName set to .htaccess right?
