In the Finder's LAYO (Layout) resource there is a field for
Max Number of Windows Open. I think the default is 13. You can
edit this field with ResEdit or Mike OConner's "Layout" application.

If you are running MultiFinder, you may wish to increase the memory
allocation filed in the FInder's "Get Info" box.
