While the default for Windows is to have explorer not show you hidden 
files, that makes it difficult to properly set up backup procedures, 
rename data directories (prepare to recover from a bad build), etc. For 
example, the directory "app data" is hidden.

This is not the only Windows default setting which you should override.
