How is the real hosts file rendered hidden in Explorer?

Like any other hidden file, it's not rendered until you choose to show hidden files and then at the point, it shows the file, but the icon is semi transparent.

     attrib +h
at the cmd prompt, the file properties in explorer would have a checkbox for this too
