I will update this with any follow up solutions I find. I have googled the error and followed directions on taking the preference file and putting it in the waste bin then restarting Finder through a force quit/relaunch but it does not seem to be working.Īny help or suggestions would be appreciated. I was hoping others may have found a solution and could help me out. An app to make like easier which then makes life more complicated seems to fight itself in serving the purpose of usability. I am able to open new windows by right clicking finder and selecting to open a new window but the fact that this Revealer app has messed with the ease of using my system seems like the program may have not been worth downloading and using. I also cannot launch a new finder window by double clicking on finder. I am getting this error when I try to open a folder like downloads from my dock icons. “The application “Finder” can’t be opened.

If you want to get it back permanently, it’s incredibly easy to do. When Apple released OS X Lion they decided they wanted to hide the Library folder. Permanently show the Hidden Library Folder If showing or hiding the hidden files with “YES” or “NO” does not work for you then replace it with “TRUE” or “FALSE”.

The above codes work perfectly fine for me on every test I’ve run however it has been reported that the last part of the code, “YES” and “NO” does not work for some people.
