what i do is create a folder in the System Folder and name it "finder in here" i then put the Finder inside this folder. to avoid confusion you can name your System Folders System Folder (7.1) and System Folder (7.0.1) to "bless" the System Folder with the "active" finder it needs to be opened and closed "unblessing a System Folder is automatic as soon as the finder is "hidden"
