He said he has a fine line running through his dock. (I > don't). He knows he has to keep to the other side of the Trash icon. > He's using 10.4.11 > > In 10.4 and earlier there is a fine white vertical line (when the Dock is at the bottom of the screen) to the left of the Trash Can. In 10.5 (Leopard) and later this has been replaced with a "crosswalk" symbol in the standard appearance. Everything to the left of this divider is an application, while everything to the right of it is a file or a folder. Therefore, if he wants to drag an application icon to the Dock, me must drag it to the Left of the divider. He cannot drag file icons or folder icons to the left of the divider, and he cannot drag application icons to the right side (ie, close to the Trash Can).
