How To Create A Recently Used Apps Stack

Want to create a special Stack that contains up to 10 of your recently used Applications? It can be quite handy.

Run Terminal, and type the following command:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'

Then type:

killall Dock

Now, you should have a new recently used applications Stack in your Dock. To remove it, simply grab the Stack and move it off the Dock and "poof", it is gone.
