Hi!
Once in a while, my client and I accidently drag an icon while clicking on it to make it go away. Is there a way to lock these dock icons so they won't move and vanish? Yes, our hands aren't steady since we're old. 😟
Thank you in advance. 🙂
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2.4 Ghz; A1260 model; 15" size.
Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true;killall Dock

The Snow Leopard versions of TinkerTool and Onyx can both lock the Dock content - it's in the Dock tab of TinkerTool, and the Parameters>Dock tab in Onyx.
Leopard can't run the Snow Leopard versions of these apps, and I can't run the older Leopard versions to see if they also have this feature. It's worth a look, though. The above MacUpdate pages give download links for older versions.
Thanks. I will try TinkerTool first. Too bad developer's web site for Oynx is gone/missing. 😟
TinkerTool worked very well. I hope I didn't break anything like I did with Parental Controls. 😉
Glad it worked!
Lock Mac OS X 10.5.8's dock icons?
