# Show full directory path in Mac OS X Finder window

Follow the steps below to display the full file path within Finder window title bars as you navigate your mac.

```bash

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES

```

Now kill the Finder to see the change take effect.

```bash

killall finder

```

And if for some reason you need to revert this change, that's done by simply switching the `YES` to a `NO` in the cmd above.

```bash

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool NO
killall finder

```
