anyone know how to name a folder with a leading dot?

i know this is kind of way off topic, but i wonder if anyone here can answer this:

back when i installed the furthurnet app on my computer, it created a folder named ".furthur" (leading period, no quotes). i didn't like where it created it, so i made another one on my D drive with the same name. Now, when i recently tried to make another folder with a leading dot, my computer wouldn't let me do it. i'll type something like ".tourecooder" (again, no quotes) and i get an error message saying, "you must type a name."

i can't rmember if there was a trick to it back when i did it with the furthur folder but i don't think so....So, does anyone know how to name a folder with a leading dot?
