How do I remove Open Office icon from desktop when program app
already installed?
My previous query:My challenge is figuring out how to remove the OpenOffice icon from the Mac desktop, without the program quitting.Already have O.O. software installed in my MacBook Pro Applications folder, along with an alias.If I right click on the O.O. desktop icon, and select “Eject OpenOffice” from the pop-up list, notice appears, “The disk 'OpenOffice' wasn’t ejected because one or more programs may be using it.”
Mark Wolf responded to above: "Have you tried a Force Quit to see if Open Office is started?"
1. Did a "Force Eject" of the Open Office desktop icon. (screenshot)2 Tried reopening Open Office files - "File Can't Be Found" notice popped up for each one I tried to open.3. Had to relaunch Open Office from Applications folder.4. A "simultaneous access" warning popped up. (See attached screen shot)5. Clicked Continue and allowed O.O. to reconstruct listed files.
This seems to be a lot of trouble to reboot Open Office and access my files when I shut down and reopen the MacBook Pro.

Also, check the actual file names on the desktop and in your application folder
The download file is "Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.6_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg"
The program file in Applications, if properly installed is "OpenOffice.app"
The .dmg install file can be deleted after OpenOffice is installed.

The /“Eject OpenOffice”/ notice means you are running OpenOffice from the .dmg file you
downloaded and have not properly installed OpenOffice.

I suggested doing a Force Quit on Open Office (an application) if it is
started. I notice in your first step that you did a 'Force Eject', I
assume of the Open Office Drive. You do know that those are two very
different actions, right?
