Are there any guidelines or standards out there for folder names starting with a period? (e.g.: .NET). I have an installer that requires this to happen and right now we are using ‘DotNET’ instead of ‘.NET’ for our folder names.
Thanks!

There are no such guidelines in the Windows world.
In unix/linux environments, any file or directory starting with a . is by convention a hidden file/directory.
