Finder.rsrc

I was recently modding my system with a rsrc from within finder. it doesn't work, can some one send me one so I can switch from Single User mode?

The login window will not pop up, and the original is inaccessible on my desktop. I'm running 10.4.11 Tiger on a G4. If you could send me this file at applefan2112<at>gmail<dot>com I would totally appreciate this. A link will probably not work due to my restricted school Internet (cant afford it at home)

PowerMac G4-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 2X 450mhz Processors 728MB RAM

Not to be over critical but I can't believe you went into modifying basic system files without having a complete bootable backup of your hard drive first.

You can't use single user commands such as move and copy to restore the old one from your desktop?

I have a copy in another G4, but i cant get to the Mac because it is in my other house (over 100 miles away).

I have tried to use

mv /Users/Alex/Desktop/Finder.rsrc /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources but it says that the source is not found (using locate and rm i removed the file i put in Finder after i wrote down the address)

The OP's e-mail is still in the first post. Not that the person seems to be checking it, otherwise this would have been flagged as answered hours ago.
