A friend has accidently deleted his download folder on his G5 iMac using
OS X 10.4.11.

Will downloading a file cause the OS to re-install a download folder or
does he need to do it from the original disks.
Thanks for any replies,

Peter

could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far
from being gruntled.

It is not just a case of removing it from the dock?

Mac OS X 10.4 does not have a standard folder called Downloads (or
similar). That was a new feature in 10.5.

Each web browser can be configured to download to a particular folder.
If you deleted the folder it was configured to use (and emptied trash),
it might revert to the default setting (download to the desktop) or it
might create the folder again.

If in doubt, create the folder yourself, and go into the preferences for
the web browser to confirm the correct folder is selected.
