Here is an odd but elegant solution - I wanted to access the %appdata% folder to dig out the roaming folder and copy a Minecraft save file... I did this by


Opening Text Edit and then File -> Open to create a dialogue box...


then I navigated to the Bootcamp Partition from the dialogue box and pressed Command-Shift-Period this shows Hidden files


At last I could see the files I was looking for.... but how could I access them, Text Edit surely could not open them...


Well I simple dragged them from the dialogue box to my desktop to copy them and then closed the text edit window...


Thanks Apple drag and drop rocks.....
