Summary: filename .idlerc crashes windows98

Initial Comment:
Windows 98 crashes in horrible ways when filenames 
start with a dot. Even deleting the file is difficult! 
Crashes take place at totally unexpected moments, 
without any idle activity. Apparently the filesystem 
crashes when it gives the wrong interpretation to the 
starting dot.

The file .idlerc should be renamed in something without a 
dot, for instance typical windows would be idle.ini
Any name without a starting dot is OK.
