The Show/Hide widget is a one trick pony, but a handy trick if you're looking for a way to easily show and hide the various hidden files across Mac OS X. Clicking on this simple widget will cause the Finder to restart, revealing all the hidden files that are lying around. Typically, you shouldn't mess with most of these files, but in my case, for example, I had some of these files lying around from a few websites I wanted to back up. Once you're done cleaning up files or poking around, simply click the widget again to make the Finder restart and once again conceal all those files you usually don't need to look at anyway.Widget Watch: Show/Hide
