[QUOTE="ZoSo0789, post: 1093681, member: 165046"] ok Ive been trying to figure this out for the last hour, but I just cant get it done. First off, Im trying to download Handbrake..... I can get that done. But it gives me some funky looking icon (I dunno what it represents in the mac world, so I dunno what it is) and puts it on the desktop. Handbrake and some other thing is within that icon. Now, I want JUST the program itself to be put into the Applications Fold on the Dock. I try to drag and drop, and it gives some sort of error when you go in to find Handbrake in the Apps folder. Then I wanna get rid of the desktop thing (I want NOTHING on the desktop) so I drag it in the trash, and then absolutely nothing with Handbrake works. Im not versed too well in file maintenance and stuff like that in Mac OSs, so I have no idea how to even begin doing somehting like this if what Im trying isnt working. Another thing, say I dont want a certain program in my App folder... can I take it out without deleting it all together and without cutting off all access to that program. Can I delete a program thats on the actual dock FROM the application folder since its technically lsited twice and that bugs me? lol [/QUOTE]
