It didn't use to work. I think it was added for XP SP2 or so, probably due to the popularity of manu *nix ports like Emacs.

  It always did, at least in NTFS. What did not, and still does not, is to create them via Windows Explorer. You can create them just fine from the command line, or via Windows APIs.
