It's as easy as NOT keeping the System and Finder files in the same folder. :) Create a subfolder in the System Folder and move either System or Finder to it.


My preferred method is to create a folder entitled "Finder in here" inside the System Folder in question and drop the Finder in it. This keeps it all together and since it will sort into the same position as Finder, it will be easy to find if you look, wondering where the Finder is.
