What's the terminal command to hide files?

[Tinpusher]

I was trying to be clever with my GF's iPod, and I ran a command through Terminal that revealed lots of hidden files (including the Network icon on the desktop).

I'd now like to hide these again, but can't seem to find the correct bits and pieces to enter into Terminal to achieve this! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

... or should I just use TinkerTool and be done with it?!

Via 'Terminal' (in the '/Applications/Utilities/' folder), enter ...

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE; killall Finder

... and press the '<return>' key.

Naturally, using 'TinkerTool' is another option.

That's great barhar, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
