Here you go. Close the pogoplug app. Right click on it and choose "show package contents". In the "content" folder there is an info.plist file. Open that file in textedit and change the "0" in the last string line to a "1". Save the file and relaunch the pogoplug app and the icon should no longer appear in the dock.

I definitely agree with you. THis should simply be a check box option in the preferences but at least for now this does the trick.

Okay, ignore the last question. I still don't have a good explanation. It didn't work, but I had issues with the software remembering my password before as well. That turned out to be because I don't operate logged into my admin account.

I uninstalled, logged out and logged into admin, reinstalled. Made the change to the info.plist and then it worked. And like the password problem before, it works now that I'm logged into my regular account as well.

So, if anyone else has this issue and run under a non-admin account, you might try the above.

 I couldn't agree more.

Just upgraded to version 4. Opening the Pogo Browser now appears to mount it on the desktop. Once the drive is mounted you can quit the pogo browser which removes it from the dock but the drive stays mounted. At least it does on my iMac running Lion.
