[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1832930, member: 396914"] Patrick, here is, as an example, my Home folder directory: [ATTACH=FULL]30458[/ATTACH] I did make Library visible but the rest are visible as default. Command-Shift-"." unhides system files like .Trash, etc, but nothing that I would call a "user" file or data. BTW, I looked it up and Library was first hidden in Lion. But a simple Terminal command makes it permanently visible: [CODE]chflags nohidden ~/Library[/CODE] Note that only unhides ~/Library [/QUOTE]
