You removed the document, "DA Handler" from your System Folder.  Under
MultiFinder, DAs (by default, at least) do not run in any
application's layer, but in their own.  DA Handler is what that runs
this layer.  Hence, if you don't have it installed your DAs won't run.

In order to run a DA in a particular application's layer, hold down
the Option key while pulling down the DA from the Apple menu.  This
trick will allow you to run DAs without DA Handler in your System
Folder, but since it would be a pain to do this and DA Handler only
takes up 6K, I'd reinstall it if I were you.

Hope this helps.
