[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1690482"] In fact, the whole sidebar thing is just one of SEVERAL ways to restore a lost Download folder alias from the Dock (since that's what everything in the Dock is, an alias). The Downloads folder actually resides in your User ("Home") folder, so you can always drag it into the Dock from there. If you've somehow managed to trash and delete the Downloads folder completely, you can just create a new one. Create a folder in your Home folder called Downloads with a capital D and an s on the end. The moment you press return, it will turn into the proper Downloads folder icon. Now drag that into the Dock to create the shortcut. (no sidebars were harmed in the making of this tutorial) [/QUOTE]
