ObjectDock Plus

Hello,

   I have ObjectDock Plus and was wondering once I drag and drop "my computer" to the dock and then let's say I want to put it back onto my desktop.....just how do I do that?  Thank you.

Dragging something to the dock will only create a shorcut on the dock, it will not move the original item from where it was.

On vista,just right click it and delete it.You can put it back on again by r-clicking it in the start menu and select 'show on desktop' or in preferences

Hi Wizard1956,

I am running Windows XP but the information you gave me works also. Many thanks to everyone for their help. :)

You could have also right clicked on the desktop > properties > desktop > customize desktop (bottom) and uncheck what you don't want.

Rightclick on desktop, in the dropdown mwnu you will see "show desktop icons", just uncheck that and all the icons go away. check it again to get them back.

Kinda like when I accidentally delete instead of empty the recycle bin. ;p
