You have to relaunch the dock for the change to take hold. Or log out and log back in again.
god i'm such a n00b but how do u relaunch the dock? already did the log on log out thing.
open terminal? ok how do u that?
i changed it like the rest,
-I then copied and paste the icon i did want.
assuming you are using the MB: press the power button and click on "restart."
if the dock icon is still not changed, then try using candybar, which allows you to change a certain number of icons before paying for the software. restart computer after applying any changes to take effect.
Apple (the icon in the top left) -> Restart
Spotlight it...
this is what i get when i spotlight it

and i did restart it
i stink i hate beening a n00b
try the link (candybar) that i posted.
very cute wallpaper btw.
Cindy, I think these people are just funning with you. For god's sake why point a n00b at Terminal?
You can use the Force Quit shortcut (Cmd+Option+Esc) and select Finder then click 'relaunch'.

That's strange. OK then still no Terminal, what's wrong with opening Activity Monitor (which is a good app to have in the Dock always) and selecting what you want to quit and hit the big red 'quit' button. You can quit the Finder and the Dock as well as 'SystemUIServer', which is useful for putting the X-Assist drop down menu back where it belongs.
