Title: making the Documents folder visible
I have somehow lost the visibility of my Documents folder in my Users folder.
(I think due to some applecscripting of a FileMaker file Documents .fp7)

I can see it using Invisibility Toggler , can make an item in the Finder panel but of course disappears when I reset visibility back to normal

As I presume it has special privileges (Script Debugger's Explorer view shows it not editable), I have had not success scripting the change:

tell application "Finder"
        set fContainer to choose folder "Check folder properties"
        set thisItemsInfo to info for fContainer
       
open fContainer
tell fContainer to set visible to true
end tell

I cannot work out a method of changing the setting from false to true

any ideas?
