Thanks!
We had a weird problem with our dock and this totally helped fix it.
thanks good work
the magnification was screwed and this has fixed the issue.
I dont have those in my preferences folder. When i deleted them and wrote killall dock in terminal, nothing happened. I want to try again but now they arent in my trash and i cant find them!!!
…after all that to post forgot what I was going to say….
PS….but Pushkar’s advice worked on Snow Leopard after Mobile Me overwrote the dock from the cloud….and deleted the new Application Stack.
Thx Pushkar…
Where do i type the killall command? Whre’s the “terminal”?
Hold Cmd + Spacebar and then type terminal in the finder window. It will show up.
