How to find the file com.apple.finder.plist?

I can find it with Spotlight but I user Tiger OS. It is in my user > library > preferences. This folder may be hidden from you in Lion.

In Lion, open Go > Go to Folder ... in Finder, and enter "~/Library/Preferences" (without the quotes). The file you are looking for should be in that folder.

Try using the Go to as suggested by the other poster. If that doesnt work, is there a second account you can use on the computer? Alternatively, can you start in Safe Mode?

The Finder folder is hidden in Lion. To see it: Finder>Go- & press "Option". Surprise!

Now you should see the Finder folder and be able to open the it.

Because Apple has made the ~/Library folder invisible. They made it invisible because too many user decided to start deleting things they did not understand from their Library folder and things stopped working. They they would call Apple or show up at the Genius Bar to get it fixed. By hiding it, fewer people are inclined to go looking around and deleting things.

Another way to get here is Finder -> Go -> Hold the Option key -> Library -> Preferences

You can also Google for how to make the Library folder visible all the time.
