Well only if I accidently put LFNs on them. If I then run ex. defrag on the
drive in DOS I'll need to format the drive to get all the space back. By
hiding them (well I haven't reinstalled Win95 yet but it worked with my old
Windows installation) it can't get corrupted in some other way either (for
instance there are almost no new viruses for DOS anymore but Windows still
gets new). Besides I would have had to make bigger partitions if all where
visible all the time (my CD is on Z: <g>).
