Hi everybody,
I think I have done a stupid thing! Somehow in my thrashings about  
with mouse and keyboard on my iMac G5, I obtained another System  
Preferences icon on my desktop.
  I left it as it wasn't in the way, I could always remove it if I  
needed the space. That time came a couple of weeks ago.
I went to delete the icon on the desk top and it wouldn't delete, but  
then it asked me for my password, strange I thought, but typed it in.
It then asked me if I was sure I wanted to delete, I said yes and  
bingo it went from my desk top. (I thought that's OK I still have the  
one in the
dock) and emptied the trash. On trying to access System Preferences  
from  the icon in the dock nothing happens. When clicked, the icon
says, open, show in finder etc. But it won't open! Have I deleted  
System Preferences permanently from my computer?
Any help you can offer to a non technical grumpy old man would be  
welcome.
(Sorry to have gone on a bit but I wanted to pass on as full a storey  
as possible)
The computer still works and seems to go to sleep etc with the  
settings that were last set in System Preferences. (I think)
Peter.
