Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.

You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program. It does all the work for you.
Neil's script will work so long as you didn't use the key "True" (a synonym for "1") in the original command to turn on hidden files. To turn Finder back to normal, copy and paste this entire line into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0; killall Finder
Press 'return' to enter it.
I have a free, one-click app for toggling hidden files on and off that you can download and keep in your Dock if remembering Terminal commands is too boring. 🙂 .
You can download "Reveal.app" from here:
