Author Biography
JC is a former Mac Genius and Mac-centric IT worker with a background in print advertising. He earned a reputation as a miracle worker when he saved the day at a new business pitch with the arcane knowledge that Apple’s ADB cables were nothing more than poorly shielded S-Video cables.
JC runs the Heroic Efforts Data Recovery Service and writes Ungenius, a tawdry tale of the life and times of a former Mac Genius.
You can contact JC via IM or via the contact form.
I wrote an utility (that comes back all the way back from NeXTSTEP in 1990) that handles exactly this. It adds two service entries in your Services menu:
* Toggle Finder Show All Files * Toggle DesktopThese services are available whenever you have a Finder window in the front. The first one does what you asked. The second one hides files from showing on the Desktop.

As said in the above answer, now that you have power to see things you shouldn’t, be careful.
Come on, do a little search next time.
