Hi Guys -

Could use a little help, have a G4 Powerbook (Mac) and did something so that all the files on my desktop are hidden away somewhere, but they all still show up in my desktop folder under the sytem icon. So I can still access them and even move them, and they're technically in the same place, but I can't see them on the desktop. I tried using the View menu to arrange them in different ways in hopes that they would pop up, but no cigar.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Abandon hope.

It's a Mac! Silly.

I think it's angry that I'm getting a Dell at work, but that's not my fault. I love it BEST OF ALL.

Nope, files still hidden, dang

It sounds like you're using OS 9, so rebuild your desktop: http://help.isu.edu/index.php?action=knowledgebase&catid=80&docid=361
