Boy, you won't believe what I did. I really could use some help and fast :) I deleted my "Applications File"... now I'm shut out of everything but Safari. On my Dock is only a gadget figure... but it doesn't work. I can go to "Finder" but I can not use anything in it like "system preferences." Is there anyway to fix what I've done? I don't have a disc or CD for the "mac os x tiger software" If anyone could possible take the time to help...I'd be ever so grateful! Well, I have to go to work right now... it's 5:04 p.m. Hawaii time now. If I came home to some kind of suggestion... it would be a great relief.

Thank you for your time,
Buttercupspy :)
