Did you copy the Finder's icon to another application that's located in the dock?

No, I only updated, and this is what happened, the more weird is I can move the finder with the triangle under it, and it isnt supposed to be moved. really strange 😕

Since the finder you are using automatically opens when you log in and places the little arrow at the bottom to show it is in use, keep that one and just drag the other one out and let it poof away.

Try to repair permissions in Disc Utility (directly from OS X DVD, restart and hold c).

But after removing it from the dock, can I put it again??? It looks really cool because no one has the dock like that.

I mean what an annoying question dude. How the heck should I know, I just take the time to try and help when there is a problem. Go try it and see, then come back and post a message complaining about not being able to have two finders.

If you want it gone, have you tried restarting?? That is where you should start and if you want 2 finders then why this thread??

actually with a ppc mac and transparent dock you can make the finder movable and auto generate another finder icon and place it where ever you want. so it really isn't that unique. Plus it looks like one finder is actually running with two instances of the icon, not two finders running.
