Lost my iDisk... how to recover please?

Hey All

In the awful upgrade to Leopard I went through yesterday, I seem to have lost any reference to iDisk on my desktop and in my side panel. Is there an easy way to reinstate this to (1) the dock, (2) the sidebar and (3) my desktop please...?

Many thanks.

1) The dock? It's not there unless you drag it there.

2) Finder -> Preferences… -> Sidebar

3) '.Mac' Preference Pane in System Preferences. iDisk Tab. Turn on iDisk Syncing. Note that this will use 10GB of your drive space!

Thanks LV.. I didn't know I'd use a precious 10GB of my disk space. So.... let's reverse the question so I can reclaim that 10GB then eh... how do I get it back??

Just turn off Syncing. It will leave the old disk image on your desktop and you can toss it. The iDisk will still be available through the sidebar in Finder when you need it.
