It's really stupid but it works: just move the Dock app out of the Core Services folder (I think; I can't check because my brother is playing TA right now on my OSX machine). ANywhere will do. Apple has some kind of script running that auto launches the dock... oh, but if it can't find the dock, then it doesn't launch anything. Same fix for all those anoying times Classix loads when you download a file - just move Classic out of the Applications folder, or in a subdirectory of the Applications folder.

HTH,

P.S. Oh it might be a bad idea to move the dock and not have ur harddisk show up on the desktop... if you don;t, it's essentially impossible to do anything on your machine short of logging out, logining as console, and then creating some sort of shortcut into your hardrive. Or you could even put the dock in the login control panel so it will boot on login... but that doesn't help if you accidentally force quit it. Maybe move it to the desktop?
