Finder keeps quitting unexpectedly, won't open back up.

Question

Earlier today, I was looking for a way to have Finder (when using 'sort by kind') sort Folders at the top. I googled it, and found a suggestion to edit the "info.plist" file in the Finder contents folder. All I did was add a space in front of the folder string, like so:
<string> Folder</string>
Do do so, I had to edit permissions, etc., but I restored them all to the way they were before. Now, I had to force quit Finder so that the changes would process, so I did so. However, after doing so, Finder wouldn't open. I was, and still am, stuck in an infinite loop of "Finder quit unexpectedly." I tried restarting, booting back up, repairing disk permissions, but nothing works. I tried editing the "info.plist" file, but it won't let me since the permissions are back to the way they were and I can't change them since I don't have access to Finder. It won't open and I'm stuck with the "Finder quit unexpectedly."
Here's the report it gives me:

Might be Finder preferences are corrupted ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash
Restart your Mac.
