An Alias to a hidden/system file?
I want to make an alias to the .trash folder in my home folder, so that I can have a trash on the desktop.
I used TinkerTool to shoe the hidden files, created the alias, and then turned off the hidden files. Unfortunately the alias also disappeared. (I tried to rename the alias without the . in front, but that didn't do anything.
Any suggestions?
