fault in the loop

I’ve been looking for a way to exclude a catagory from the get_archive, and I finaly found one. I’m now using:

<?php $temp_query = $wp_query; query_posts(‘showposts=10&cat=-9’); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
• ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “<?php the_title(); ?>””><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php } $wp_query = $temp_query; ?>

The only problem I encounter now is that it not only excludes the catagory from my sidebar, but also from the content page… does anyone know why?
