I did try this. All worked okay until my trash was emptied. It may have been my only copy. The icon still remained in the dock, but when I tried to click on it, it would no longer open. A "?" appeared over the icon in the dock.
Previously, when I would install a program, there would be the icon in the dock and the icon on the desktop. I could just restart the computer and that would take care of the desktop, leaving only the icon in the dock. Now, that doesn't seem to work. I'm stumped. -Troy > > > >Drag it into the trash.
