I have never had that problem on Windows 2000 or XP, and I don't
understand how Windows file association could affect visibility per se
(although if that file type is `hidden'  or `system' then perhaps it
could).  AFAIK it is standard in Windows to associate .cnf with Speeddial,
so I would have expected everyone (including Fabrice) to be affected by
this if it was standard.
