Permanently disable the Finder
Authored by: ghay on Jul 27, '06 01:14:42PM

If you move the finder from it's proper location, you may prevent future updates from updating it, and then the old finder may be incompatible and you could be left with a non-working system.

If you really don't need it, set loginwindow to open something else instead, a la the pathfinder hint

defaults write com.apple.loginwindow Finder /Full/Path/To/Path\ Finder.app

This is a horrendous 'hint' and the first time I would recommend one to be deleted.
