Or, in terminal, type:

cd ~/Desktop
ls -a

That will move you to your user's desktop pfolder, then give you a directory listing of all files, hidden or not. \]

I should have added that any file with a "." in front is a hidden file like so:


ComputerName:~/Desktop UserName$ ls -a
.
..
.BAHtemp-1166-1804289383
.BAHtemp-850-1804289383
.DS_Store
.localized
SomeRandom.mov
ADiskImage.img.sit

or adding -l will give you detailed information:

ComputerName:~/Desktop username$ ls -la
total 1140976
