Windows 7 Hiding .* files and folders

Hello I was wondering if there are any possible things I could do to get windows 7 to hide files and folders that start with the character "." (you know like Linux).
I find many windows programs create files that are not hidden but start with ".", and while tecnically this is a problem with the program, almost all of them do this so it would be very nice if windows handled this correctly.
 
programs starting with "." ? You can hide them only manually (or hide the folder)
