10.6.8 how do I put Applications Folder back in Dock

My kids deleted the flyout menu for Applications typically found on the right side of the dock (when located at the bottom, I'm obviously not a pre-OSX user). It used to be just to the left of the Documents flyout. How can I get this irreplaceable feature back?


Thanks!

There are lots of 'workable' solutions here, but all a bit off-topic. Your kids accidentally deleted the original "Applications" icon from the Dock. You want to put it back, complete with cute-icon and all ... not looking like a folder as the solutions here would result. Open the "Macintosh HD". See the "Applications" entry on the left-nav "Favorites" panel? Right click on it, and now select "Add to Dock" ... job done. You'll see the "Applications" back on the Dock, and when you single-click it, instead of it opening a Folder, it'll Genie-open the Applications as it did before the pesky-kids deleted it 🙂
