by begining a dot in the filename hides in the unix environment , but when i see the same in WinCVs (which is a client in windows) everybody is able to see the files along with the .(dot).

The best answer I can give you is to put that user in a group of his own. OR if you need to keep that group membership intact, make a new group and add everyone else to it except this person. Group management is the best answer I can give.
