On startup just hold down the Command and Option keys just as you
would for a regular rebuild.  Keep in mind that this is an INIT so
you will need to hold down the keys immediately after you get the
welcome to Macintosh dialog.  You will see a dialog that asks if your
sure you want to reset the desktop.  Press reset and you will be told
if the desktop was reset successfully you will get another dialog
saying so.  Press return to exit this dialog.  You will be asked these
questions for each partition/drive you have on your system.  When
the Finder comes up it won't be able to find its data bases so it
will create new ones.

The instructions should have been in the file header.
