Hi,

I have been searching for about an hour now on this...

I have a Mac Book Pro running 10.6.8 and I can access the LaunchAgents folder fine. I just got a mac mini and tried to set up a command .plist file and put it in the launchagents folder but I cannot find it.

the mac mini has 10.7.2 on it and I have gotten the library to appear but still cannot access the launchagents. Could someone help me and tell me how to access this folder, or if there is a better way to do this?

Thanks for the help in advance!
