Desktop Folder Fixer 1.2

Desktop Folder Fixer 1.2 is a rather praiseworthy program that will toggle the state of the invisible bit of the Desktop Folder.
If you are unable to see the Desktop folder when FileSharing or if Sherlock reports it is unable to open items on the Desktop because they are in an invisible folder, the invisible bit on the Desktop Folder may have been set.
The Desktop Folder Fixer will make the Desktop Folder visible so that others connected to your computer via file sharing are able to access the Desktop Folder of your computer. Making the Desktop Folder visible does not mean that after running this utility you will be able see the Desktop Folder at the root level of the hard drive.
The Finder treats the Desktop Folder as a special case and even when the Desktop Folders invisible bit is not set, the Finder does not display the Desktop Folder in the root level of the hard drive. The current state of the desktop folder can be checked with and special utility software. While booted into Mac OS 9.x, create an alias of the hard drive and place it in the Apple Menu Items Folder.
When you select the Apple Menu scroll down to the name of your hard drive and look at the first hierarchical menu. This should be a listing of the items on the first level of the hard drive. If the Desktop Folders invisible bit has been set, it will not appear in this listing. If it is not, and it should not be, the Desktop Folder will be shown.
The Desktop Folder Fixer is a Carbonized application and can be run from either Mac OS 9.1 or Mac OS X. While the Desktop Folder Fixer is a carbonized application, it targets the "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder" regardless of which system version it is run from.

Swap Cop X 1.1.2

Partition the hard-drive into three sections, one each for MacOS 9, LinuxPPC, and (for the future) OS X (with a few extra utility partitions for Linux swap space, etc.). But then OS X came along, and so did an MP3 collection. I removed Linux, since I could SSH, emacs, and perl perfectly fine in OS X, and the old Linux directory became an MP3 disk. But OS X is huge, and I felt a little cramped in the 1.7 GB partition, and backing up all the data I had would be too difficult, so repartitioning was out of the question. So I wrote Monolingual ( http://homepage.mac.com/jschrier/ ) to remove the unnecessary language resources. But even that was not enough. I saw that there was a swap disk that was taking up a minimum of 80 MB, and more likely 160 MB or more (increasing in size as you use OS X). So why not move it to my MP3 partition (where space wasnt as much an issue), and reclaim the space on my main disk. Thus Swap Cop was born.
Why would you want to do this? Perhaps you are in the same position with an ill-arranged partitioning scheme like I was. Or maybe you have a small disk that you would like to dedicate to swapping, to increase your OS X performance. I originally made the change by hand, but realized that it wouldnt be too hard to have a user friendly program that would take care of it.
MacOS X 10.0 or later.
