Is it possible to hide the Linux hidden files (.* files) in Windows?
Does explicitly hiding the files by changing the file properties in Windows have any effect in Linux?

Linux, by default, hides many of the sensitive system files. Hidden files are usually system or application files, concealed to prevent accidental changes. This guide will show you how to display and work with hidden files in Linux. Note: Some directories require administrator, root, or sudo privileges to access.
Click Start and then My Computer. Click Tools and then Folder Options. In the Folder Options window, click the View tab. On the View tab, under Advanced Settings, select Don't show hidden files, folders and drives.
Select the View tab. Click the drop down for Options and select "Change folder and search options" Select the View tab. From the Advanced settings menu, mark the "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)"
To hide one or more files or folders, select the files or folders, right-click on them, and select Properties. On the General tab on the Properties dialog box, check the Hidden box in the Attributes section.
the command ATTRIB +H was very usefull for my needs;
I wanted to hide in Windows 7 all linux *.hidden files created in my data drive (in my case D:), so I used the following command line:
C:\>attrib +h D:\*.hidden /S
and it worked very fine. Thanks for your help!

There is no way to hide them automatically, but you can safely mark them all as "hidden", if your filesystem supports that.
