[QUOTE="clint1986, post: 811476, member: 50227"] Also, you can tell Mac OS X to always show hidden files by supplying some commands in Terminal, if you don't want to install an application to do it. To show hidden files: [CODE]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE killall Finder[/CODE] To hide them again: [CODE]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE killall Finder[/CODE] TinkerTool is pretty handy anyway though, take a look. :) [/QUOTE]
