Quick question for you guys, this folder has suddenly appeared... Last time I saw this, it was after installing X11, but this time on my fresh OSX install, I have not had anything to do with X11. Anyone know why it would suddenly appear like that, it's never usually there?

usr is normally a hidden directory, as most users don't have a need to go in there. But if you access a hidden folder, it will sometimes stay visible until you logout or restart the computer. If a restart doesn't solve it, you can use an app like XRay to make it invisible again...it's a neat little app that's like "Get Info" on steroids.

Very much appreciated reply! So it was there all along! I will now zap it out of view with XRay! Cheers! :D
