I have a situation where the Finder no longer "works."
I can do many things with it, but cannot open a Finder window or display the contents of any folder (i.e. in a finder window).
Attempting to do so, "immediately" results in the spinning beach-ball effect, and "Force Quit" reporting -- "not Responding."
Relaunching clears the "not responding" but does not open or allow to open a window.

using terminal cd ~/Library/Preferences
rm com.apple.finder.plist*
Two Files get deleted.
then "sudo killall Finder" ... and the windows come back again.

Finder no longer works
