The following line is from one of the emails from the thread the other
day regarding this. I don't recall anyone saying to use 'veto file'.

hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/

files"? In my eyes, veto files are totally ignored by the client. Hide
files only gets the "hidden"-attribute and can be read by the client.
