Well, grab your copy of ResEdit, open up the finder, choose the LAYO 
resource, scroll to the end, where the box says maximum # of open windows,
and give yourself as many as you want (default is 13, I use like 36 --
of course I am a slob).

As always, do this on a copy of the finder (not the original!!!)
