Installing FinderPatch

•Your System Folder should contain a Finder.

•Copy the Finder onto the Desktop.
 (Use command option to do this.) The Finder should carry
 the original name, e.g. "Finder",  and NOT  "Finder copy".

•Apply the FinderPatch v1.3.2

•Create a new Folder on the Desktop. Name this Folder "Finder BackUp".
 Now move the old Finder from your System Folder
 into the newly created folder on the Desktop.

•Now move the Patched Finder from the Desktop into
 your System Folder.

•Now double click the System Folder to open it's window and then
 close it. This tells the Mac to use this one as
 your new System Folder. (Actually the old one, you have used before.)

•You should have the System Folder Icon on the System Folder (Mac Face)

•Restart and everything will work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that your Finder cannot be locked in order to apply the FinderPatch.
To check if your Finder is locked or not, select the Finder by clicking on the icon once.
Choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu, and when the info window appears,
check the lower left-hand corner where it has the "Locked" checkbox.
If it is checked, then your Finder is locked, and a little lock icon appears in the lower
left-hand corner of the Finder's icon.  To unlock it, simply uncheck the "Locked" checkbox
in the info window and close the window.
There should not be a lock icon on the Finder icon anymore.
