*Create a hidden folder* Mac OS X automatically hides a folder that begins with a period. We can use this to our advantage and create a secret folder. However, it's not as easy as creating a folder in the Finder and naming it ".MyPrivateStuff." But it's not difficult, either.
1. Open Terminal. By default, you're in your Home directory 2. Create a new folder with a "." as the first character using the "mkdir" command, like this: mkdir .MyPrivateStuff 3. Hit return. You're done! So how do you access that folder from the Finder? Navigate to your Home folder (open a new window and click the little house in the left sidebar). Now, select "Go to folder..." from the menu bar. Enter the name of the folder you created, including the period (in my case, .MyPrivateStuff). Presto! Your hidden folder appears in the Finder window. Now populate it with your "secret" stuff (financial in nature, of course). One caveat: The Finder "remembers" the last folder you visited with this method, so be sure to "Go to..." a benign folder before you walk away On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 1:49 AM, sudip saha <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear All, > > I need one help from you.
