This is an odd request, but here's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I usually have a few Safari windows minimized at any given time. I would like to be able to click the Safari icon and have it automatically open a new window instead of bringing up minimized windows.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make this happen?

Thanks in advance.
 
My best solution is to hit command and then tab through open doc apps and when you stop on safari you then need to hit command N to open a new window. NOt a simple process, but possible without un-minimizing any safari windows.
 
Using the AppleScript editor, create an application with the following code:

Code:
do shell script "open /Applications/safari.app -n"

Change its icon to your liking, place it somewhere on your hard drive and then drag it to the dock. Each time that you click on it, a new Safari window will open to your home page.
