Two questions that I was hoping someone could answer for me:

1.  A while back someone modifyied the System on our Mac Plus' HD 20 so that 
it would display the current time in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
I believe it's called JClock.  How can I remove this from the System file 
permanently without having to manually replace all the fonts and DA's that 
are installed?

2.  I've come across a need to have a MacPaint picture as the backdrop to the
Finder.  I remember reading in Macworld how to do this (using ResEdit, I
think) but I couldn't locate the instructions when I looked.  Anyone know
how to do it or in which magazine I can find the instructions?  (By the way,
I need the picture to appear in the Finder, not as a startup screen, i.e.
Screen Maker won't do it.)

Please email any replies... I'll post answers if anyone's also interested.
Thanks for the help.
