give TinkerTool a try - it has an option to show hidden files and folders (in the "finder" tab.

Hi!

There are several ways to make files invisible in OS X. If the invisibility flag is set, you can make it visible using the command SetFile, which is part of the developer tools.

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V /path/to/fileorfolder

will make file invisible,

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a v /path/to/fileorfolder

will make is visible again (notice the capital V in the first example).

You can also use the Finder's Go To... to view the contents of invisible folders if you know their path and name without having to change any settings.
I'd use TinkerTool (see above) and have the Finder always show hidden files and folders if there weren't those stupid .DS_Store files all over.
