Code:
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE"
tell application "Finder" to quit
delay 5
tell application "Finder" to activate
(Run that in "Script Editor")

yes, i know. i've never opened script editor; it takes all of a minute to write the method in Xcode. in my case, it was faster and easier to write him an app. i just wanted to fix his problem as painlessly as possible for him. |
