ok... hmmm... whats the string for the finder icon in the bar? is there a way that you could edit it (im assuming mac has some sort of registry editor type thing seeing as its Unix) to reflect a different path for the finder icon? or try changing the actual icon

well all we could come up w/ is an archive install, but im tryin 2 avoid the pain of that

hmm I know theres this thing called hide when you right click the finder icon.. does that possibly have anything to do with it?

Veteran Member From : Florida OS : Mac OS X Leopard

no. alls that does is hide all windows associated w/ the program. its a way of cleaning ur desktop w/out seeing the windows or closing them

you can ask someone on the forums for like a file you can run that someone made that enters some terminal commands that fixes it instead of the archiving thing

And drag the finder icon back to the dock.

@SbuxBlaze.. Hide hides the open screens related to that Application, not the Icon itself..
