[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 935967, member: 99551"] Try this: Open the Finder and go to <YOUR-HOME-DIRECTORY>/Library/Preferences were <YOUR-HOME-DIRECTORY> is where you keep all of your user specific files; it will be your user name. You need to find the file named com.apple.dock.plist delete this file. Then you can either open the Terminal (as others have suggested) and type killall dock or you can select the Apple Menu at the top left hand corner of your screen and select 'Force Quit'. Select the 'Finder' app and click relaunch. By removing the com.apple.dock.plist file you are resetting your dock to the factory defaults. This should remedy the trick your friend played on you. However, if a third party app was installed, you may need to find out exactly what was installed and remove it. For now, try the approach above. [/QUOTE]
