Can't see hidden files with Standard user I am using my Mac as a Standard user. Running latest OSX 10.10.3

I have used the following command from terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowALLFiles YES


But I still can't see my hidden files.

I've checked my ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file and the correct entry is already there:

&lt;dict&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;AppleShowALLFiles&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;string&gt;YES&lt;/string&gt;


If I login as Administrator, this command works fine. If I login as a different Standard user, this command works fine. It is something about this specific Standard user account that is preventing the command from working, but there is no way I am creating a new account just to fix this small issue. Anyone have any idea why this isn't working as it should?
Use cmd+r then open Terminal and type: resetpassword

On the next window, click on the name of your volume (usually “Macintosh HD”), then select the troubled user account name from the drop-down.

Skip the actual password fields (you are not changing the password).

Click the button on the bottom section labeled “Reset Home Folder Permissions and ACLs.”

Restart
