Now i know this will sound silly, But are you 100% sure the .htaccess file your editing is the only one one you have and its in the root of your server, The reason i ask is i've heard of a guy editing a htacess in his forum root not knowing he already had on in the server root

You need to make sure the code is like the one shown below not like your example, I know that works 100% on my site. Failing that it may be something that you'll need to take up with your host, as something is stopping you from adding this.

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

have you already got an htaccess file ??

You can read up on htaccess files here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html
