</a><br></blockquote></div><br><br>Deleting or renaming this file is *not* suggested at all. The reason is because once kde-system-settings or whatever the exact package is gets updated, then that file gets recreated if it's not there as .hidden. If you don't want anything in that file there then simply delete and recreate it as an empty file. Or just edit it and remove everything within the file and save again. If there is a file there, no matter what it may contain, when that package is updated, the file is *not* touched.
<br><br>AFAIK there is no GUI way of editing the file other than doing kdesu kwrite /.hidden Replace kwrite with your favorite GUI editor of choice.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>With kind regards,<br><br>Cliff Wade (Hawkwind)
