Deleting files in Downloads folder won't go to Trash

[ywu]

On my MacBook, when I delete a file in the Downloads folder, it says that it will go immediately and for some reason it doesn't go to Trash.

On my iMac, the behaviour is as I expect, it goes to Trash and I can undo it.

Is there a way to change it on the MacBook so it goes to Trash? I'm using 10.6.3.

thx.
