Could you give us the config that you used to create the SSI? It sounds 
like you ended a directory with a "/" as opposed to without a slash, which 
should (?) limit it to just that directory. I don't have my book right in 
front of me though, so I can't remember for sure.

Well, for Windows, yes, you can name it whatever you want, but when you 
upload it to Apache, under the default configuration, yes, it has to be 
".htaccess". You can however override this on Apache's end. See:

Hope that helps, binky...
