Can't see hidden files with Standard user

[ZippyDan]

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.

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?

Maybe you need to change it in the prefs of your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

Checked. It is already there:

<dict>
	<key>AppleShowALLFiles</key>
	<string>YES</string>
