Finder stopped opening so I needed to use the Terminal part of your instructions. I successfully removed this file:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.
But can not restart my computer.
Finder is dead and is blocking Trash from opening and the machine from closing.

Sorry about my error - I was going from memory. I should not do that :)
Is it feasible to force the computer off. That is what I have done any number of times on Windows computers and once on a Server when all else does not work.

I am preparing that as my last ditch effort.

Thanks for the help. I thought I closed this hours ago but have been unable to do so with the app.
A hard restart did the trick!
I will assign points when back online

I am glad you got your machine working. Good News.
Finder only has Relaunch option and I have tried this dozens of times already...
