| I think its safe to use ResEdit to make Mac OS X files and folders visable in os9. I wouldn't mess with the kernel, though. Use the getinfo option in res edit. PS: if you are wondering how those files became invisable in the first place, check on the 10.1 installer cd (probably on the 10.0 installer cd, too) in /Library/Installer/Packages/Essentials.pkg/Contents/Resources/ There a list of files to make invisable, and a program called MakeInvisable, I think. I'll post some corrections later as soon as I get to mess with my G4 and the 10.1 cd.

| related question... is there a way to make folders invisible in OS X? Would it hurt anything. At the root of my HD I have a three folders named sw, res and Desktop that suddenly showed up on the last update. They were not there before and I don't use them for anything (the Desktop folder had some aliases, but these did not show up on my actual desktop). |

| There is a Mac OS X program called "RBrowser". It is actually an FTP client, but it has some very unique features. It has a file viewer similar to the file viewer in Linux (Gnome environment) and RBrowser allows you to see EVERY file on your system as well as change the creator and file type. The only reason I have RBrowser is because it lets me see invisible files in Mac OS X that the Finder does not allow me to see. It has the feel of a linux program, download it, you'll like it. It should be on versiontracker and www.macosxapps.com. |

| I just tried to make a folder invisible in Mac OS X using RBrowser and had success. From the Finder, create your folder in the directory you want it in. Then use RBrowser's file viewer and manuver to the directory/folder containing the folder you want to be invisible. Click on the folder to change the name. Place a period "." at the front of the name (example: "My_folder" becomes ".My_folder"). The folder is now invisible in Mac OS X. Placing a period "." at the beginning of a a file or folder makes it invisible in Linux/UNIX unless you are the root/superuser "God" on the system. Enjoy! chemistry_geek |
