[QUOTE="Eric559, post: 911529, member: 34699"] The dock doesn't really "store" files. It's more like for shortcuts to the original file. For example, if I have a file stored and I move it to the dock it's going to create a shortcut to that file wherever it's stored at on my computer. If I delete that file (not the one in the dock) then the shortcut shouldn't work anymore because it can't point to the file. So if you deleted the original file the dock icon shouldn't work anymore and now you don't have either. Correct me if I am wrong Haha [/QUOTE]
