I don't have a copy of System 7.0, but I'm fairly sure that this good
old technique will work.

	1) Make a copy of the Finder and put it in a folder.
	2) Get Info on that file and change the allocated size.
	3) Move the active Finder from the system folder into another folder.
	4) Move the copy you modified into the system folder.
	5) Reboot.
