I deleted the com.apple.Finder.plist file from the /System/Library/LaunchAgents folder to try something and it apparently borked everything up and Finder would not load again after logging in.  I could click the Finder icon on the dock and it would run, but I really didn’t want to have to do that every time.  Seeing how I had just freshly installed OS X 10.7.3, I didn’t have many of my files and programs loaded back on again, so I took a chance by reinstalling OS X 10.7.3 from DVD.

After reinstalling OS X 10.7.3 I had all of my files except for some Xcode files that had to be reinstalled again after running it for the first time after reinstalling OS X.
