veto files(S)
This is a list of files and directories that are neither visible
nor accessible
hide files(S)
This is a list of files or directories that are not visible but are
accessible. The DOS 'hidden' attribute is applied to any files or
directories
that match.
hide dot files (S)
This is a boolean parameter that controls whether files starting
with a dot appear as hidden files.
Default: hide dot files = yes (did you change this?)

Set explorer to hide hidden files.
