Hello everybody,

Maybe you already knew, I just learned there was native support of NTFS Read/Write, but it's disabled by default.

Here is how to activate it :

In one of the comments, I found a utility called iNTFS made by Italians wich activates automatically NTFS Read/Write support (no more need to write a line for each NTFS drive) :

I installed it, and it perfectly works (for now).

Download :

And I also discovered a new Snow Leopard feature : you can show/hide hidden files in an open/save dialogue box by typing Command + Shift + .  :

A guy in the comments give a link on a way to automatize the traditional ShowFiles method :

I don't recommend this because it broke my windows partition once. Windows has managed to auto repair it on the next boot though.

Hi guys, I'm tha author of iNTFS.
We suggest you to use this only if you wanna be able to write on NTFS USB Keys or External HDs.
If you want to use it to mount your hackintosh multi boot system or your Mac with boot camp, be aware that this may corrupt your Windows filesystem. Anyways most of the times you can simply repair it on the next Windows boot.
