Hello Graham,
Have you tried 'refreshing' the Finder .plist?
1. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder.
2. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder-View-Show
View options or go command - J.
3. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’.
That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
4. Select Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.
Move the com.apple.finder.plist to your desktop.
5. Re-launch Finder by logging out/in and test.
If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer
ones.
Note: "You might need to redo the View settings" after.
For example:
If experience the hard drive icon not showing on the desktop after refreshing
the plist,
Go to Finder > Preferences and under "Show these items on the desktop" check
the box next to "Hard disks" and the icon will reappear.
Cheers,
Ronni
