I deleted the system preferences application.

Don't ask why! It was an accident.



How can I restore it ? (without reinstalling OSX ;o)



thanks

    Easiest thing would be to copy it from another Mac running the same version of Mac OS X - it's only ~400k.

    hmmmm, the problem is that i'm from a country where a mac is very rare.

    so i have no friends with a mac here.



    would it be a problem if somebody sent "System Preferences.app" by email ?



    here's my temporary aadress until it gets spammed cauchy_f at yahoo.de



    and my OSX is 10.3.4 german - but the language is not important.



    if somebody could do this, i would be very happy 8)

    THANK YOU VERRRRRY MUCH.

    You helped me a lot, because I have no time to reinstall OSX

    at the moment (exams) and living without System Preferences

    is really uncomfortable.
