Exercise to the reader: there may be a better way to run a shell command at user level at the time of graphical login. The Library folder should be unhidden if it was hidden before. It should briefly open a Terminal window and run the command. You can test the script by double-clicking on it in the Finder. Note that this requires some familiarity with the command line and editing text files using a text editor such as BBEdit, TextWrangler, or emacs or at least knowing how to save as plain text from Word or Notepad. A system update usually requires a logout and log in, so the Library folder will be automatically unhidden again after a system update. If you are a rebel at heart and refuse to play by Apple's rules, you can save command to a file and add it to your login items, so it will be run whenever you log in. Note the intentional butchering of the word 'LibrarE' you can change 'LibrarE' to anything other than 'Library'. Launch Terminal and run the following command.
