- In the Finder, got to your user's Library -> Preferences folder and locate the file named com.apple.finder.plist.
- Select the file and in the Finder File menu do a "Duplicate File" and drag the copy somewhere else, just in case you screw up.
- Double-click the file to open it in TextEdit, or drag it to your favourite text editor icon on the dock.
- Search for a line that says:
Below this line there is a tag; below that line, paste this code:<key>PreferencesWindow.Location</key><key>QuitMenuItem</key> <true/> - Save the file and log out / login.
[robg adds: I could've sworn we'd run this before, but I can't find it ... the closest thing I found was this hint on adding Quit to the Dock's Finder menu, and a general hint on freeing RAM by quitting the Finder ... but no explanation of how to add the command yourself.]
