LKBEN11721: Where are my setting or preferences stored on MacOS?


Symptom

You need to reset your preferences for your dock.

Cause

-

Solution

Most of your preferences are stored in your home folder. The preferences for your dock are stored in the following file:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist

The ~/ is a shorthand for your home folder. (located under /Users/<username>)

Hope that helps
