Description nbty6tg 2008-11-04 14:24:03 UTC
Upon startup I receive the following error:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Desktop.ini".

My company uses an encrypted files system which places a file "Desktop.ini" as a hidden file in all directories of my 
hard-drive.  I setup a .vbs script to purge the files before startup, however it would be helpful if Netbeans knew to 
ignore these files, or had a means to ignore them.

The problem files are generated under:
C:\Documents and Settings\{myid}\.netbeans\6.1
