So, say you have a certain [program](http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/office2004/office2004.aspx?pid=office2004) who’s [developers](http://www.microsoft.com/mac/macbu/default.aspx?pid=macbu) figure it’s alright to pollute users’ home folders…
What to do?
$ /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V \ ~/Documents/Microsoft\ User\ Data/
There, much better.
I can never remember how to do that and I actually needed to make a few folders/files like /sw/ and /opt/ invisible (Fink and Cisco making things messy).
thanks
You can also just move it to your ~/Library/Preferences folder and it will work from there.
