<p>I have a folder tree which is a checkout of Subversion project with a bunch of Office documents in it. I have added it to my Libraries \ Documents, which is handy. However, being a Subversion project, each folder in the tree has a hidden folder called <code>.svn</code>. </p> <p>Unfortunately, Windows 7 does not seem to respect the hiddenness of these folders, so when I arrange by 'Date modified', I see loads of <code>all-wcprops</code> and <code>entries</code> files, which are found within the hidden <code>.svn</code> folders. I have double-checked that these folders are still hidden.</p> <p>Setting the files themselves to hidden does not remove them from the Library either. In any case I don't think this should be necessary. I have also set my options to always hide files and folders, and it still shows them in the Library.</p> <p>Does anyone know how to get the Libraries feature to ignore hidden files and folders?</p>

<p>This happens if you have the explorer option enabled to show hidden or system files. </p> <p>To explain further: Start -> "Folder Options" -> View tab, see the options for Hidden files and folders. If they are set to show, they also show up in search results.</p>
