I want to hide the dock permanently, I find it gets in the way. But finder is only available on the dock. So how can I get finder as an icon to show in Launchpad?

Is there anyway to access minimised apps other than the Dock?

I'm a rolling stone.

Simple, go to the Folder where Finder resides, right click on it and make alias, it will ask for your password, then drag the Alias to your Applications, next rename to Finder, it is Finder Alias now.
That's it.
Oh, and delete the Alias in the Coreservices folder.
