[QUOTE="joshbrez, post: 598010, member: 26453"] If you're looking for System Preferences, that can be found in /Applications. Simply go there, and drag the app onto the Dock. If you're looking for a way to restore the Dock completely to the way it was when you first booted the Mac, do the following: - go to ~/Library/Preferences (the ~ means your user's home folder) - delete the file named com.apple.dock.plist - open the Terminal. You can find it in /Applications/Utilities - type "killall Dock" without the quotes and press enter That should restart your Dock with the factory settings and icons. [/QUOTE]
