Right click on the folder, make alias, and drag the alias to the desktop.
You can also drag the folder while holding Control+Command keys, and drop it to create an alias. You'll see the little Alias arrow on the icon as you hold control+command.
Just be sure not to let go of the control+commands keys until AFTER you've dropped the alias folder/file.
I think you meant option+command

That's not much penance. Cmd-C / Cmd-V
Somehow I took my downloads folder off my dock and now I have no idea where to find it. I'm going crazy having to track down each download. Where can I find the folder and how then do I move it to my dock? I can't use the finder as that just shows me all the things in my downloads folder, rather than the whole folder, so I can't just drag the whole folder...
Right-click or double tap depending on whether you have a mouse or a trackpad. If your mouse isn't set up for right-click under Preferences, Control+Click/tap will work...Thank you for the welcome and the quick response! What do you do to make that dropdown list come up in finder?
Sorry if I'm being retarded...
