There seems to be a long running defect in the implementation of ls.exe. It shows windows system hidden files - which it shouldn't do by default. On Unix systems files are hidden by placing a period in front of the filename (ie, .profile), but in the windows world files are not routinely hidden this way but are more commonly hidden by setting the hidden attribute on the file. Shouldn't ls.exe honor the file system attribute and not show the hidden windows files?
