Customising Finder in OSX

Following a challenge from a friend, I found these two terminal commands that modify the way that Finder works, in terms of displaying hidden files and showing the path: -

Show hidden files

- Open a terminal session ( press CMD + SPACE together, enter the command "terminal" and then press ENTER )
- Type "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE" and press ENTER
- Type "killall Finder" and press ENTER

Show path names

- Open a terminal session ( press CMD + SPACE together, enter the command "terminal" and then press ENTER )
- Type "defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES" and press ENTER
- Type "killall Finder" and press ENTER
