[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1832935, member: 175845"] I came across this a day ago helping a friends friend, a new switcher fellow with his week old MacBook Pro, basically to get things set up for him so he could work with it with a quick set up for stuff he needed. His "new" 2017 MBPro had Mojave installed and it was all up to date. To make some of his stuff easier to access I thought it would be nice to set things up so that he would have easier access to some of his data. When I went to his "Home" username folder I was rather surprised to see only about four folders and several such as: Desktop, Documents, Downloads folders were not showing. I thought that was rather odd and said I would look into it has he had to leave for a meeting. A few Google searches later, I came to some sites that describe the situation and provided methods to show these new Invisibles. I believe one of them was: [url=https://appletoolbox.com/how-to-show-your-user-library-in-macos-high-sierra-and-sierra/]How-To Show Your User Library in macOS Mojave, High Sierra and Sierra - AppleToolBox[/url] And in some of the screenshots there, some folders such as the [I][B]Desktop[/B][/I] folder was not showing, but apparently will when using the show invisible keyboard shortcut. I also checked with a friend of mine by phone and he doesn't have the Desktop folder showing in his username folder either and he is using Sierra so I assumed it was sort of normal. I hope that all this makes a bit of sense, but it's sure confusing to me. Sorry if this seems to be going a bit off topic, but maybe the admins could change it if that's the case. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
