I've tried this as well. Remember though that the problem I was trying to solve was simply hiding the "Microsoft User Data" folder found in the user's Documents folder. The Hide Folders app did "hide" it, but after opening any of the Microsoft Office apps again, it simply re-created another folder in the Documents folder. This is why I've strayed away from using this.

I installed to default, in /Developer/Tools are shortcuts/aliases the actual files are installed in /Developer/usr/bin

I stand corrected... but it should work regardless with the Terminal code posted by Hara Taiki. remember the differences with -v and -V (for everyone else)

Strange any of the tools in Developer/Tools don't work for me unless i specify path Developer/usr/bin?
they don't work if I just use setFile or /Developer/Tools/setFile

Odd, after having a major crash with my system and reinnstalling everything, after installing the Developer Tools, setfile worked once, and no longer seems to be working.



Any reason?

Try like me to specify path /Developer/usr/bin/setFile

I don't understand it either way... both my hackintosh and macbook still work with setfile... both with "/Developer/Tools/setFile" and with just "setFile"

Be aware of using this!

Using it on /mach_kernel & /boot made my system unbootable...
