A couple of hints to ease working in the Terminal and GUI
Authored by: rufo on Apr 24, '03 12:23:26PM

Seems to me a far easier thing to do would be to edit the file ".hidden" at the root level of the hard drive and quit the finder (logout/login, force-quit, whatever). Since it begins with a dot, chances are you'll have to use a command-line editor or BBEdit's "Open Hidden" feature.

This will work for any other folder in the OS also... just create a text file (UNIX formatted!) called ".hidden" and put the names of any folders or files you want hidden in the finder in that file.
