[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1564202"] Here's a tip about the dock: Apple did not intend it to be a launcher for every app you might possibly use. It's meant to hold, let's say, your pick of the 10 *most* frequently-used apps (I guess a 27-inch iMac could hold a lot more) and a couple-three folders (if you don't regularly use one of pre-set apps in the dock, you can remove them -- they're still available in the Applications folder). One of the folders you can put in the Dock is, and IMO should be, Applications (along with "Downloads" and perhaps one or two more that have your go-to documents/work/projects). If you drag the Applications folder to the Dock, and set it to display as a folder and sorted by name, you will have in addition to the "top 10 or so programs," one-click access to ALL the programs, in alphabetical order. Super-easy to find any program you might care to run, without unduly adding to the Dock so that it shrinks down into a hard-to-see strip. [/QUOTE]
