Please don't recommend putting icons in the user's Dock. This discussion comes up on mailing lists frequently and always ends with the same few points:

- There's no public API for it, which means you have to edit the Dock plist, which is an implementation detail
- It's arrogant of the developer
- It forces many users to remove the new icon they didn't put there


What's in my Dock is my domain. Don't touch it.

How can I create an Alias with PackageMaker 3 of an application just installed at the current user ´s desktop folder?
This is what we need to do. I know it is windows like.
If it is a "don´t do that", I would be happy to get a comment from Apple.

If you want to force users to look at your icon you'd have better luck shoving it in the dock than on the desktop. _______________________________________________
