Better, more
Authored by: bombich on Mar 30, '01 12:10:56AM

Hey guys, I found this little morsel in Apple's OS X developer documentation <http://www.devworld.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/SystemOverview/SystemOverview/BootingLogin/Customization_Techniques.html#CJBBAIAB>, but it didn't work for me:

from the terminal, su to root and type: defaults write loginwindow Finder <path to new .app folder>

This command supposedly substitutes the new app for Finder, and should be a heck of a lot easier that other methods, not to mention one line of code can switch it back, too. If anyone gets this to work, please post.
