I needed to show hidden files for some reason the other day, so I ran this command:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
The problem was that I soon forgot that I had done this, so I actually ended up deleting (and possibly misplacing) a few of the files that then began to show up. I can't remember which these files were or where they were - simply that it was in the normal course of operation of my Mac, so probably on the Desktop or the Home Folder, or somewhere similar.
At this point I have reversed the command, but now both the new version of Skype I downloaded as well as the Sparrow mail app keep crashing continuously, and I'm thinking it might have something to do with having removed a hidden file that I shouldn't have...
Could anyone help diagnose this? I'd be extremely appreciative. Thanks.
