How come the Apache directory viewer listing shows every file in a folder except those named "header*.php?" (The original file I was trying to view was named header_template.php) Is this a bug? Or perhaps some configuration I can turn off?

In addition to changing this behavior, can someone explain to me why it's doing this? I can't imagine a reason in the world that Apache's directory viewer would show anything except the actual contents of the folder.

This is using XAMPP on Windows Vista Home Premium. Thanks.

Ok, that answers half of my post. Now can someone explain the point of this "feature", other than making me distrust Apache's folder listings completely? I still can't imagine a reason for it.
