My Home Folder does not show in USERS folder within Macintosh HD. The only folder in Macintosh HD is Shared.
The Home Folder does show up in Places and all files are still there.
How do I have the Home Folder and its icon show up in Macintosh HD under Computer
I have iMac 24 with OSX 10.5.8 with 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks for any help!

Open a Finder window and select your Home folder under Places in the Sidebar. Now go to the View menu and select "Show Path Bar." This will display the path to the currently selected folder in the bottom of the Finder window. What's the path shown for your Home folder?

Btw, if this is a work computer on a network, your Home folder can be on a server and will not be located in the /Users folder.

The path is MacIntosh HD > Users > Home icon with home folder name. But, it is invisible in Users and only shows Shared
Thanks for help

Have you started you username with a . or any other non-standard characters? Some of these will make the finder render a directory invisible. Cocktail or TinkerTool both give you access to a preference to show hidden folders/files, if you think that might be the case.

Sounds like your home folder got flagged as invisible for some reason. Utilities you can use to check/change this:
