Not minimized windows, objects...
Authored by: robg on Apr 11, '02 08:38:54AM
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.
