Hi Barry, If you hold your mouse arrow over your Home Folder on the dock be it a folder or a house it will present you with a choice of how to display the folder/icon.
If you select Folder it will show the House. If you select "Stack" you will have a folder icon Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 07/02/2013, at 6:18 PM, Barry Sexstone <bjsexst...@netspace.net.au> wrote: > Many thanks Ronni > > That worked BUT. the icon is now that of the first of my home folders.
