loginwindow's path to Finder preference gone in Snow Leopard?

12-23-2009, 12:13 PM

In Leopard I could use the following to stop Finder from being launched at login (and cause Terminal, or any other app, to be launched instead):

Code:

defaults write com.apple.loginwindow Finder /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

But this no longer has any effect in Snow Leopard. Is there another way to accomplish this, short of Finder completely? (I still want to be able to launch Finder on occasion, I just don't want it to open at login or when all other apps are closed).

Thanks.
