The "trick" I use is to hold a folder called something like "exchange" in
each system folder.  I open the system which I want to "deactivate" and move
the finder into that folder.  (If you look at the system folder ICON, you will
notice that the "mac" SICN inside it goes away).  I then move the finder
out of the exchange folder in the system to be "activated" (If you look at
the new system folder, you will see said SICN appear).  I now RESTART (Menu
Item).  This is it.  Many people claim that you should also do a "Set     
Startup" on the new finder, but I find this unnecessary.
Hope this helps.
