Hmmm, are you sure of this?

Alternate Data Streams are named $DATA attributes of a file in NTFS, and 
if I create one such thing via:

   echo "Some Data" somefile.txt:ADS

That works and I can look at the data with type, but the Summary tab of 
the properties dialog box for the file does not show me that attribute?

It should be noted that normal file data is associated with the unnamed 
$DATA attribute.
