If you use the Dock to locate and launch applications, it's a good idea to get the Dock organized the way you like it. Learn how to remove applications from the dock that you don't use, and learn to add other applications to the Dock so you can quickly launch them when you need them.
- [Instructor] Earlier in this chapter,…we saw how easy it is to launch applications…just by clicking on the icon in the dock.…That's pretty easy but only if the application…that you want is already in the dock.…You might have also come to the conclusion…that there are a bunch of applications in the dock…that you will never use.…Fortunately, the dock is pretty easy to customize.…I think it's a really good idea to take a moment…and load up the dock with only the applications…that you use everyday.…So, let's do that.…We'll start by removing some icons from the dock.…
So, start by looking for applications…that you're not going to use on a regular basis.…I'm just going to use the Notes application…as my first example,…and there are a few ways to remove it from the dock.…One way to do it would be to click and hold on that icon,…drag it up, wait for a second until this flag pops up…that says remove, then, let go,…and now, that icon has been removed from the dock.…Another way to remove something…would be to right click on it,…
