I believe you can simply force-quit the dock
IIRC, just force-quitting the Dock will re-expand any docked windows. You shouldn't have to delete the .plist
Not minimized windows, objects...
Force-quitting the dock will, indeed, expand any minimized windows. It will not, however, remove any objects such as applications, folders, or document icons that you have dragged there. In my example, that would be literally hundreds of JPEG files sitting on the right side of the dock. These weren't being minimized (command-M), they were being dragged to be placed on a folder that was already on the dock.
They'll all still be there after a force quit; the only way that I know of to make them vanish is to either drag them off one by one, or trash the prefs. -rob.
Or, better yet...
Simply hold down the "command" key when you drag items to a folder in the Dock. Then the Dock won't allow you to drop items ONTO it -- only INTO folders on it.
I know that now...
This actually happened a longggg time ago before I was aware of command dragging to the dock. A recent email, however, made me think that it might make a useful tip for those that don't learn about command until too late :-). |
