Sorry you guys probably think im dumb but this is all new to me?

What is htaccess good for?

And if sombody views my source how can i hide the secret things which they shouldnt get to see?

I belive its used for secure password stuff. Like passing a password without revealing all the information in the query string.

It's used for a lot of things. Redirecting pages more quickly that a meta tag, deny access to a page by IP, custom error pages...
