I'm using Leopard, and was trying to drag an image out of my Downloads stack in the dock to the desktop ... then there was a puff of smoke and my downloads stack along with everything else in it disappeared .. it's not on the desktop and not in the trash .. where did it go ?

How can I get it back ?

Go out to your Home directory and find the folder called "Downloads". Drag and drop it onto the right side of the dock. It should be back now :)

It sounds like you just accidentally dragged the Downloads stack off the dock. When you do that, it's kinda like dragging an icon out of the Start bar in Windows - it's gone.
