Snow Leopard’s Finder is great and fast, but sometimes it just hangs. At least for me, and though I’ve got a Macbook Pro with 4GB Ram, it happens that it should be restarted or “refreshed”.
Luckily I’ve found out these two buttons that, once dragged to your Finder toolbar, will let you refresh & restart. I’ve tested them, they work perfectly.
Go download.

In addition, you can alt-command-escape to open the Force Quit window and restart Finder from there. I’ve had to do that many times.

The reload button might be handy, but why not just restart Finder from the Dock using the "Relaunch" option?

It’s just an option I’m sure many people will prefer over the Force Quit menu.

Bad form! Don’t post "download" links without describing where one will be linked.

Those scripts are handy for sure.
Until now I did what @Mathias Bynens proposed.
And I had completely forgotten about the shortcut @Carlin Scuderi mentioned.
Thanks to all of you!

what does exactly do the "refresh"??? I sometimes use the relaunch option from the dock, but this little button is hilarious… XD
