title: Show special hidden Files/Directories from Windows 7 in Java
body: <p>Since Windows 7 the directory windows/system32/drivers/etc is specially hidden. Windows 7 itself doesn't show it, but it is there if I open it manually.</p>
  
  <p>Today I was playing around with a Java JFace Eclipse example (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecgui1/) and was wondering that java also doesn't show the etc directory.</p>
  
  <p>So how can I get all directories/Files, when using file.listFiles() ?
  Any ideas?</p>
