I'm using a Finder replacement app. Is there anyway to prevent the Finder from opening at login?
 
Hmm...

Tried renaming your app to Finder.app, and place it into /System/Library/CoreServices/

Eh... be sure to move (not Trash) the original Finder.app first though. :eek:

This can get very messy..... ;)
 
You could write an AppleScript:

tell application "Finder" to quit

If you put that in your startup items (I think) it'll run at login...though I'm not 100%. Maybe someone else can confirm.

EDIT: this will work, but after you've written this one line of code you need to go File-Save As and choose application. Then it'll run when added to the login items.

This will be much safer than the method above as it simply closes Finder on startup
