[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1029451, member: 145676"] It also could be that you have Application windows set to that top right corner as well. I like the corner activation but it can get annoying. One tip - if you like hot corners but don't like accidental activation. In the Expose settings, when choosing what the corner does, hold down a modifier key or keys like cmd alt ctrl or any combination, while the pull down is active, then select your activity. That way to actually get Expose to work you have to hold down the modifier key and move the mouse to the corner. Low chance of accidentally starting. What do you mean by windows disappear? Cmd-h causes windows to hide so you can't see them and they won't show on the dock. If you go to your Program Name menu (ie if you are using Safari there is a pulldown called Safari) -> Show All it should bring all programs that are open back. Clicking on the icon in the dock should do the same for individual programs. If you mean the icons themselves are disappearing - then your 7 year old may be pulling them off the dock. There are various programs to prevent icons being removed. I like itweakx [url=http://www.itweax.net/]iTweaX[/url] as it has a bunch of other controls as well. It could also be you have a setting in Displays turned on called Automatically adjust brightness as ambient light changes. System Preferences -> Displays -> Display -> checkbox at the bottom. Try unchecking that and see if it helps with the light if the first suggestion didn't work. [/QUOTE]
