i was trying to get cool glass icons....

i copied the resources folder that contains all the icons to the pictures folder and put the glass icons folder in its stead deep inside(system>library>coresomething>etc) and now i cannot open any finder windows of any kind to undo what i did. Someone please help me.
 
Although I have never seen or created a 'system>library>coresomething>etc' folder ... I would use 'Terminal', and ...

01. Enter ...

sudo bash

... and press the <return> key. A prompt for the password will then be displayed.
02. Enter an administrators' password, and press the <return> key.
03. Enter ...

cd /system/library/coresomething/etc/; ls -ls

... and press the <return> key. You will then see the contents of the folder you changed to.

04. Assuming you want to delete a folder (such as 'Resources') in 'etc' itself, then enter ...

rm -rf Resources; ls -ls

... and press the <return> key. The 'Resources' folder (and its contents) will be deleted, and you will see the remaining items of the 'etc' folder (directory).
