[comp.sys.mac.apps] Changing Finder & System

rgonzal@elbereth.rutgers.edu (Ralph Gonzalez) (05/23/91)

I finally installed System 7, and immediately tried to change the
System and Finder resources for the Trash icon, etc.  Of course, I
made the changes on copies of the System and Finder, using ResEdit.
The problem is, I don't seem to be able to change the names of the
active Finder and System files so I can restart with the modified
ones.  I even tried rebooting off a floppy and I STILL couldn't change
the names of the old Finder and System.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can someone tell me what to do?
Thanks!

PS - I know SUM II needs to be updated before it can be used with
System 7.0.  Does this mean I shouldn't use the Shield init?
