I think people who have open shares should first be worried about closing
them.   As for hidden files, they have been around FOREVER it seems like.  I
recall that they change the sequence to turn them on/off 95-98 but i'm
pretty sure it's just
 (Windows Explorer)
Tools : Folder Options : View : Show hidden files and folders
in 98.  (using 2k rite now)

As for people hiding files in your filesystem.... What would they be hiding?
If they put a virus into your startup folder and you have no virus
protection you will not notice anyway.  Just placing a file onto your drive
with hidden properties is the least of our troubles. :)
