I know, I'm an idiot! I thought I was deleting an alias and instead deleted my system preferences application. The system preferences seem to be all there in the library, but I can not open the system preferences window. Do I need to totally reinstall OS X?

I have a Powerbook G4 1.33 GHz with OS 10.3.8.

This is what I get for messing around with stuff before my first cup of coffee.
 
Did you just delete the alias off of the dock? If so you can click the blue apple in the upper left corner of the screen and click "System Preferences..." and see if it launches. If the application system preferences (in the Applications folder) has been deleted, I dont know what else to do. I'm a somewhat new Mac user too.

If the application has been in fact deleted, I hope one of the expert users can help from there.
 
No. The one I deleted is from the applications folder. I tried re-installing the 10.3.8 update, and now the icon in both the applications folder and on the dock is an applescript icon (the one with a paper and a pen/pencil/ruler in the shape of an A), but clicking on either one doesn't take me anywhere.
 
Thanks everyone. El Diablo, you are correct. Pacifist works like a charm. I am now banned from touching my computer pre-coffee!
