Disk Image appears on desktop randomly

[jedward77]

Hi everyone,

Mac Newbie here. I have downloaded applications to my desktop and then have installed them to my applications. I then trash the disk image on the desktop. All is well, but when I open the application up (Skype, for example), the disk image reappears on my desktop.

How can I get that to stop happening? As far as I can tell, the software is installed correctly.

Thank you in advance

If you have correctly installed them correctly, then you have dragged the App in the Disk Img to your Dock.

It can't be re-appearing if you have emptied the Trash.

Drag the Skype Icon from the Dock, Open Application Folder, Drag the Skype Icon in there into the Dock.
