I have a question. I started up my 17" today and there were no Triangle underneath it. When I right click it, the menu pops up "Finder Not Running". When I do click on it, it'll just bring up the Finder Window.
What's going on?

That happens to me too, I think it might have something to do with 3rd party software mucking around with the system, but nothing to worry about.
One way to get the Finder triangle back, is to just relaunch it.
Hope that helps.

Restart in Safe Mode and see if the problem disappears. If it does, then you'll know where to start looking for ways to fix it.

Another idea would be to run the latest combo updater (10.2.6 as of this writing).

Well, I am running 10.2.6 already.
Hmmm. . . 3rd Party stuff huh? Maybe it is because of the Cleardock? But I have never experience any problems before.

Yes, but the combo updater has restorative capabilities as well, if something is screwed up.

That's it, I've had the vanishing triangle since I updated to 10.2.6, and installed haxies like cleardock. I also have metallifizer installed.

The Finder is an application like any other. If there's no triangle under it, that simply means that it's not running, as the menu says. When you click on the icon, it then launches it - it doesn't bounce, but that's what it's doing - and then automatically opens a new window because that's what it does after being launched. The question, of course, is WHY it was not running - either something quit it, or it crashed.
