Screenshot of my home directory on Windows 7

Only a minor issue, more of an aesthetic problem.

The netbeans metadata folders:

.nbi
.netbeans
.netbeans-derby
.netbeans-registration

aren't hidden on Windows, and appear in a users home directory (C:\Users\Username on Windows 7). I guess the .folder is hidden by default on Linux, but not on Windows.

Please see screenshot for clarification.

This issue is related only to .nbi folder. Installer is not responsilbe for others. The .netbeans folder does not exist any more - see http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir
