Creating a Dock shortcut

[mig.gentry]

I'm tyring to create a shortcut to the applications folder in the Dock. I've tried dragging it in but no success. I also tried dragging it to the desktop to have a shortcut there but some of the contents couldn't bemoved so i cancelled it.
If there isn't anyway OSX does this are there any programs i could download to create one.

If I understand you correctly you want to put your apps folder on your dock? All you have to do this s drag it to the side where the trash is.. but not in the trash, next to it, you should se a fine line between your last number of apps on your dock and your icon that has an apple logo on a spring. anything on the left of that line has to be apps, everything else needs to go on the right.
