If you have Windows Explorer set to show hidden files, they will appear
in a dim color.

Instead of simply hiding files beginning with a dot, you can also
specify a string pattern to Samba for files to hide, using the |hide|
|files| option. For example, let's assume that we specified the
following in our example |[data]| share:
[data]
hide files = /*.java/*README*/
"If we want to prevent users from seeing files at all, we can instead
use the |veto| |files| option. This option, which takes the same syntax
as the |hide| |files| option, specifies a list of files that should
never be seen by the user. For example, let's change the |[data]| share
to the following:
[data]
veto files = /*.java/*README*/
