Description
Explorer does not display certain files, even when "show hidden files" is activated. For instance:
ntuser.dat.LOG1ntuser.dat.LOG2NTUSER.DAT{...}.TxR.0.regtrans-msNTUSER.DAT{...}.TxR.blfNTUSER.DAT{...}.TM.blfNTUSER.DAT{...}.TMContainer00000...1.regtrans-ms
These files seem to be created by the Windows Registry, eg. for backup purposes.
The question is: Should fman display these files or not? Technically, they are files.
