Kill Finder is a tiny application that will force the Finder
to quit when it is launched. If there are no other applications running, the Finder will simply restart again, so be sure another process is in the background.
Quitting the Finder will give you about 300 more K of memory, but you will lose the configurable part of the apple menu, so be sure you have launched all the apps that you will need.
I wrote Kill Finder because I needed a quick and easy way to make the Finder quit. Some programs will make use of the free memory through temporary memory options and such.
Kill Finder requires System 7.0 or higher, supports Apple Events, (largely useless in this case ) and is 32 bit compatible. Enjoy!
