The Dock stores aliases (the icons and their functionality) in a dock plist. I bet if you delete this file, it will fix it. Now you just have to find the file. It should be called com.apple.dock or com.apple.dock.plist or something like that. Look in /Library/Preferences.

Deleting this file will reset your Dock to its default settings

PM me if you still have problems
