Use the Font/DA Mover to install the Windows DA in the finder.  To do this start
up Font/DA mover then select the DA option.  Close the system and ask it to open
the windows DA suitcase then, while holding down the option key press the open
button.  This will allow you to open any application or file including the
finder.  Then just copy the window DA into the finder.

I prefer this to the option key open method with multifinder, at least with a
window DA, since it makes most sense and is most needed in the finder.  Now
when the finder is the active application all you need do is select the 
window DA and it will install itself in the finders layer.

Don't hold down the option key until after you have selected the Apple menu.
