My kids always come over to my computer and drag icons off my dock and its getting rather annoying. Is there any app or setting that will make you type in a pw to do this?? Seems you can lock down just about everything but this.

[SystemDisk]->Users->[User]->Library->Preferences->com.apple.dock.plist (getinfo->lock it)
you can still drag the icons off, but when you logout/in they reappear in their proper spots. This is useful for my needs, hope it helps you!
also, I just found this, might be useful to you if you need it for a regular account (not administrator)
""""Sys Prefs --> Accounts --> + --> Enter Details in --> Parental controls --> Configure --> Some Limits --> Tick All But Modify Dock.
This Will Prevent the dock being modified Only with that user""""
