Folders on Dock?

Put them in the right hand side of the dock, next to the Trash.

 

Just drag it to the dock.

Option-Click or Right-Click it to see a menu with the contents.

 

Just to clarify, you need to control-click, not option-click, to see inside.

 

I'm real new...

Would you please elaborate about the Sidebar? I get a little confused with what's what. At least I know what the Dock is.

 

When you open a Finder window -- any window showing say the contents of a folder on the computer, on the left hand side, there is a vertical bar with links to the Applications folder, your Home Folder, Music, Movies, etc. That's the Sidebar. See the left side of the pic below, where the highlighted "Student" folder is (yes, I know, I hotlinked, IM TO STUPID FOR TeH INTERNET!!!! ).



Also note that in addition to ctrl-clicking or right-clicking the folder icon on the dock to expand it, you can just click the left mouse button and hold it.

 

I understand this. But why can't folders go on the left side of the bar where applications are. Why only apps there. Cuz the right side is for stuff already opened. When you restart it goes away. Why can't folder go on the left.

Thanks,
ivnj

 

That is how the Dock works. Left, apps. Right, documents, links, minimized windows. Anything you drag to the dock stays there even after a restart.
