Not sure how I did this, but the applications folder disappeared from my dock. I replaced it, but when I opened it up, it was empty. I noticed that when I went into my apps folder under my username in the Finder, it was empty. However, when I click on Applications listed under "Places" in the left column in my Finder window, all my apps still appear to be safe and sound. Any idea how I can replace them in my username Applications folder, and return them to my dock? I tried simply dragging them ther from my Applications "place", but then that was empty. Thanks..
