Hi,

Typically to remove something from the dock, all you need to do is drag it off of the dock. If the application is OPEN, it will not remove until you close it.

I am curious as to why your Installer keeps on opening, and why you cannot quit it. Can you elaborate?

If you're using Panther, check System Preferences -> Accounts -> Startup Items -> and make sure there's no HP stuff opening there that might account for this reappearing in your Dock.

If you're using Jaguar, check System Preferences -> Login Items

If you're using Puma or pre-puma, it's time to upgrade your OS.
