Rearranging Icons on the Dock

If you don't like the way the icons appear on the Dock, you can rearrange them. To rearrange an icon, do this:

  1. Move the mouse pointer over the icon on the Dock that you want to move.

  2. Drag the mouse left or right. Notice that as you move the mouse pointer, the icon you selected appears as a "ghost image" that you can see through. As you move this ghost image icon, the other icons on the Dock slide out of the way, as shown in Figure 5-5.
