    I thought I’d let you know of a nice trick for extension-only filenames. If you add a trailing dot, windows will allow the filename, and afterward ignore the dot. I.e. create a new textfile, and rename it “.htaccess.”, and it gets stored as “.htaccess” without trouble.

    If you choose to include it in your post, no need for tribute, I didn’t discover this myself. Also, an alternative way, and the way I usually did this was by setting the filename from the text editor.
