Creating 'secret' user accounts in 10.2
Authored by: leenoble_uk on Sep 16, '03 10:28:45AM

I've been doing this for a while now. apologies for not posting this hint. But in addition I'd like to advise you that if you mount your invisible folder on another machine over a network it may cause both machines to lock up. I may be wrong now as it's a long time since I made that mistake and I don't fancy trying it again.
If you put the setFile code into an executable file and write an applescript to run the command, and then make another to make it visible again you can keep these handy and make your home folder visible/invisible at will.
Oh and rob may not have noticed as he probably has DevTools installed but setFile is only available with developer tools installed.
