Step 2: Paste in the Terminal window the following command:
Type defaults write com.apple.dock static-only-bool TRUE
Step 3: Restart the dock by typing:
killall Dock
Step 4: Close The Terminal.
If you want to take it all back, then start a Terminal and type: type defaults write com.apple.dock static-only-bool FALSE; killall Dock.
