I use Emacs on various platforms. When I use it on Windows, I don't want files with the "hidden attribute" to show on ido-find-file, dired, etc. I can't seem to find any function in Emacs that can tell me whether a file has the hidden bit or not (file-attributes doesn't seem to, from the help page).
