Windows File Explorer is anal about this, but in a cmd.exe window one 
can create a .foo file by calling an editor (well, gvim, at least)

C:\Temp>gvim .foo

Then edit and save the new file.

You can also copy a file to a new file with a dot-leading name.  And 
rename files to .foo, too.

The CLI rules.  Even on Windows.
