I think you failed to mention, which can now be deduced, that it must
be a stay open app. I assumed from your post that it had to be saved in
"System:Library:CoreServices:" but was puzzled how that could work.

Are you certain that you named it 'Dock.app'? Check the info window
under 'name & extension:' to be sure. If the system doesn't find
'Dock.app' running then it will relaunch the original Dock app. I'm on
10.3.4 and it still works here.

Entity Paul Skinner spoke thus:
Despite the rumors to the contrary it's not so hard to get rid of the
Dock entirely. Save this...
on run
try
set p to (path to startup disk as text) &
"System:Library:CoreServices:Dock.app:"
tell application p
quit
end tell
tell application "Finder"
activate
end tell
end try
end run
on idle
return 60
end idle
as a application and name it 'Dock.app'.
Run it and you'll be Dock-free, As others have pointed out you do
lose some functionality. Alerts can't bounce up to get your notice,
but
I consider that a bonus. The only thing that's critical is that
you'll
need a new way to minimize windows as they have nowhere to hide. But
that's another script entirely. : )

Hi Scripters,
I want to quit the Dock, but there is a automatic restart in it. Is
it
possible to quit it by AppleScript?
Why? I want to have a "FileMakerRuntime Station" only on a
exibition,
but the Finder always give the Option "Command + Tab" to change from
the Kiosk Runtime to the Finder. I want to quit these option.
--don't work
tell application "Dock" to quit
Thanks for your help
happy filemaking
Armin
