[dba-Tech] hidden files?

Thanks Marty,
Interesting - ActiveSync for (PocketPCs) uses an ADS.

Crucial security sure has a dumb form to fill in! I had to remove all
formatting from the phone numbers and add a fake fax number. I had to guess
at the formatting part :o(

These are probably ADS files Alternate Data Streams.
NTFS files contain one primary stream and, optionally, one or more alternate
data streams These streams are great for hiding viruses. Temporary ones are
created by some ADO methods.
I am not sure but I think restore files are ADS files
