How to free the memory 'finder' use.

If you like me, that keep your mac run for several days, you may find that the 'finder' uses a lot of memory (sometimes more than 1GB).

Fortunately, you can 'relaunch' the finder to make it free the memory. Here is how to:

- hold the option key (alt)
- right click on the finder icon (on the dock)
- click 'relaunch'

The finder will remember how many windows it has, and their position and restore them after the relaunch.

Very usefuly :)
