By default, OS X Snow Leopard doesn’t reveal its full power or potential to the end user very easily. You kind of have to dig around to do some pretty basic things that Windows would let you do via a few right-clicks, etc. The other frustrating thing with OS X is that there are a million ways to do effectively the same thing. One of those pain-in-the-ass scenarios is simply hiding (or unhiding) a file or folder in OS X. If you search the internet for “hide file OS X” you literally get 1000 solutions ranging from downloading third-party utilities, to having to download and install the Developer Tools, etc. Today I present to you a very simple way of quickly hiding and unhiding files and folders, without the need to download and install any other crap! Here’s how you do it, the easy way! Let’s get started.
