[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1396315, member: 71075"] True but killing the process doesn't really end it permanently since, at some point, you'll have to interact with it in some fashion. As that article notes, simply trying to open a Finder window will relaunch it (as you'd expect). This is why (I expect) Apple makes it tricky (by hiding the plist key) to truly kill it. So, technically, it did die but I doubt this was the case here - you'd know it if it was. Non-technical means of killing Finder (holding control and option while clicking the Finder icon and selecting the relaunch menu item) will restart it and are probably more likely in this case.
