- 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.
