I don’t think it would be Casper either, but I use something called SetHidden to re-hide these folders. It came with (I believe) the 10.4 dev tools – though works on 10.5 too. It’ll need installation as it’s a command-line binary, but once it’s installed, you can call it with a script as part of maintenance. It’s simple and does the trick nicely.<BR>
<BR>
I attached a compressed a folder with the following:<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><UL><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>SetHidden – file – Iceberg project file
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>resources – folder – contains postflight script which executes the SetHidden command
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>contents – folder – contains the SetHidden binary and hidden_MacOS9 file as distributed from Dev Tools
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>build – folder – contains built, installable, Set Hidden.pkg, as compiled from Iceberg.<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></UL><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'><BR>
Cheers<BR>

I have imaged a Mac and it now shows the etc and var folders, among <BR>
others in the Finder. These should of course be hidden. How can I hide <BR>
them, and any idea why Casper would have done this?<BR>
<BR>
Best wishes<BR>
