This is a handy little helper that contains two utilities:

Change File Visibility allows you to make any hidden file or folder
visible, or hide them again. This is very handy to get rid of all the
OS X files and folders that come preinstalled on your Macs nowadays:
Simply drop your hard disk icon onto this tool, and you will see all
items on the root of your disk. Change the checkboxes for all hidden
items such as dev, bin, etc. to make them visible, then use the finder
to move them all to the trash.

Unhide Desktop Folder allows you to make the desktop folder visible in
the network again if you've installed OS 9.1 or 9.2, which has made it
invisible on the network. Just drop your volumes onto this tool and
their desktop folders will re-appear when seen as mounted AppleShare
volumes.

Additional feature: You can also have the desktop folder renamed so
that it appears like any other folder in the root dir of your hard
disk. The items will then, of course, disappear from your desktop
area, but you can always move them back there again.

REALbasic source code used for building Unhide Tools is also included
for the curious.
