Delete Apps I Don't Need
OSX 10.7.1: There appear three question marks in my dock, apparently belonging to apps that I have removed a long time ago.
I can remove these dock items using the context menu ('remove from dock'). But if I then log out and in again, they are present as before at their old places in the dock.
Possibly related: If I specify 'Don't ask before emptying waste box' in the finder settings then this setting is forgotten, too, on log out/in.
Perhaps a matter of erroneous permissions?? But repairing permissions using the hard disk utility didn't help.
Are there .plist files for finder and dock that I could inspect? On Mac OS Lion I couldn't find them. May be their names have been changed (if they still exist at all).
