Hey,

Basically a while ago I unhid all the files that start with the period character (y'know like .DS_Store etc etc) for some reason, I forget why.

Now i can't figure out how to hide them all again! :/

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks!!

Open a Terminal window and paste in the following lines :

Code:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
killall Finder

press return after each line.
