Here, you go.  

Open Windows Explorer.  On the Tools menu, select Folder Options.  On
the View tab, scroll down to Hidden files and Folders.  There should be
two options:  

Do not show hidden file and folders
Show hidden files and folders  

If you have the first option selected, you will not see any files or
folders that begin with a . (period)  No dot files or dot folders.
Change the option back to Show hidden files and folders and these will
be seen.

Becouse the windows client asks for it.  

MS Windows Explorer looks for 'desktop.ini' in *every* directory
displayed, unless explicitly configured otherwise.
