Normally you don't want to turn always on hidden files, there should be an
entry in the contextual menu to turn on them.
Comment 1 John Fleck 2003-02-09 16:52:31 UTC 
Right-click context real estate is precious, and it may already be
overcrowded, as the discussion on bug 87330 indicates. A decision to
add something needs to be taken very conservatively, only after we're
sure the feature would be very widely used. I don't think this example
meets that test.
Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-02-14 03:48:10 UTC 
we do want to do this, but it will be a view menu entry, not in the
context menu. Its not clear if it should be a navigation or view
property though either.
