Hidden files problem in Finder

[SnowSpyder86]

Hi all,

Last night i was researching how to see hidden files. I found the terminal command:

default write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

and then

killall Finder

So, now i can see all hidden files. Now i want to hide them again, which i understand that you have to type the following in terminal:

default write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

and then

killall Finder

This does not work, it still shows my hidden files. Ive tried a reboot, and have tried the commands several times. Someone PLEASE help, this is really annoying. THANKS!

It should be 'defaults' not 'default'. The below command works fine for me (I just tested it):

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO

or

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
