Quit/Exit Finder?
Friday, April 20th, 2007I've always known Finder was just another application running on OS X but had wondered why it didn't have a quit/exit menu item. You may need to restart Finder, due to a problem, or you may just want the memory for some other process.
Here's how to do it:
1. Open terminal
2. Type defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool yes
3. Hit return and then close Terminal
4. Goto the Force Quit menu and relaunch Finder
5. Now you have a Quit Finder menu item - just like other apps.
Enjoy!
