Showing Hidden Files in the Finder on Mac OS X |
|
|
|
|
This command tells the Finder to show hidden files/folders such as ‘.Trash’. Type the following at the command prompt in Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app):
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Before the changes will take effect you’ll need to relaunch the Finder either by logging out and then logging back in or by using the ‘Force Quit’ dialog. Simply replace TRUE with FALSE to reverse the effect.
