Missing Folders on Dock - Snow Leopard
After installing 10.6 I was trying to make those fan stacks. I discovered there is supposed to be an applications folder in the new dock which fans out. My installation didn't install such a folder in the dock, and I don't see a way to add it.
How do you add the applications folder to Dock?

You would simply navigate to your applications folder in the finder, then drag the folder to the right side of the dock.

Re: Missing Folders on Dock - Snow Leopard
That's what I though too. Tried it several times. The dock doesn't accept it. Is there any kind of "dock rebuild"?

yourhard-drive / users / youruser / Library / Preferences /
com.apple.dock.plist
com.apple.dock.db
delete those files and restart ... your dock should be back to normal.
