I don't know about a DA, but Keeper is an application which does this, or
alternately do the following:

Use Fedit, open finder.

Hex search for 6738594F
Hex modify to  6038594F
                ^
write sector

NOTE: All of this is for Finder 4.1 ONLY, neither Keeper, nor the patch above
work with other (older or newer) versions of the Finder!!!!

As an aside, I am using System 3.0 and Finder 5.1.  With this combination
the system automatically stays put on a RamDisk.  I would GUESS it also
will do so on a hard disk. Finder 5.1 works with the older system but this
feature doesn't.
