Moving icons under the dock

If you move the location of your Dock on the Mac, it may end up covering icons that were already on that edge of the screen. You are then left with the problem of how to access or move those icons. It's actually pretty simple to do. Open a Finder window then select View -> Cleanup from the menu bar. The icons will automatically get moved out from under your new Dock location.
