Are you absolutely, positively certain that it hasn't just ceased being
displayed on the desktop?

It's unlikely to have been there in the first place. Most likely, its
alias was dragged out of the Dock - it can just be reinstated by
dragging the Documents folder to the Dock (or perhaps it was from the
FInder window sidebar, but the same thing applies).

OK, Daniel & Peter - here's how it went:

I was (finally) watching the 'Getting Started' tutorial and it was
showing the 'stacks' in the 'Duck' when I noticed I didn't appear to
have either the Documents Folder or the Downloads stacks where they
should have been - between the Apps Folder and the Trash Can!

So I opened up the Finder and dragged the Documents Folder thingy down
to the Duck to squeeze a *copy* of it between the Apps Folder and the
Trash Can - thinking (hoping) it would duplicate it there but, to my
horror, it went *poof* (you know - puff of smoke animation) and disappeared!

I thought 'OK it's gone in the Trash Can and went in after it. It wasn't
there! It's been missing ever since - as has the Downloads Stack, it
would seem!

At this rate, I estimate the machine will be completely empty by Easter!
