what Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 edit: I'm an idiot. But it should work. You sure you're killing the Finder afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo_spook Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 there used to be an app that did it, Onyx or something http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.baldwin Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The unixy-guts of mac os x. Thats right. Its always been on my MacBook. Never changed it or hidden it. All Unix systems have that crap inside of them somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo_spook Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 MacOSXhints is very good if you are wanting to delve into the unix underside of OSX This is two things about OSX that is lagging behind windows on. You shouldn't need to console or disk to hide or show system, it should be in the preferences and locked under a admin password. 2nd, similar, an address bar for OSX, autofilling, (there is command G I think? path box) but not quite the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
