How to make folders like "System Volume Information" or "RECYCLER" hidden, just like it is on windows?

I have this external hard drive, and I used it in windows, now that I use it on Ubuntu, and it is kind of annoying to see files like System Volume Information, so how can I make it hidden?
Or how can I make any file hidden?

The problem is in linux, hidden attribute of windows doesn't work.

To hide a file/folder, you put a . infront of file name.

But As those folder are system folder in windows, renaming them with . may cause damage to the OS stability or windows may create another folder with name which will be again visiable in linux

So you have to live with that. :)
