A fix for a rapidly and repeatedly crashing Finder
I actually had this same problem 2 weeks ago, but I managed to narrow down the cause a little bit more. My corrupted file was not on the desktop but in a subfolder far enough down in columns view that it had to be scrolled down to be seen. If the finder window was scrolled to where it would begin to show it would immediately crash the Finder which would restart. Fortunately the window position would be reset to the top of the column and I could do it again if I wanted or not. ;-) Copying the file via command-line resulted in a Resource-less copy of it which worked fine once it was given the right extension. I believe copying the Resource-less file over the original did NOT fix it, the cp command can't erase or change any resc I believe. The only way to fix it was either to delete the file vi command-line and then move the resc-free one back where it was, or to create a completely new folder and after moving the clean version of the file over I was able to use the FInder to move the rest.
