Re: Add/remove from Dock?

Take a look at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist and the use
of the command line tool 'defaults' (man defaults for help.)

You also need to restart the dock after you've edited the .plist:

do shell script "killall Dock"

Hope thats a pointer in the right direction :)

You're kidding me. The only way to do this is to write to a plist? Good Grief! (picture of Charlie Brown with a hand to his head and a dark squiggle above him).

I guess I'll forget it then. I assumed (wrongly, apparently) that there was an AppleScript method of adding a program icon to the dock. Example: You install a new program and ask if the user wants to add it to the Dock.
