Dashboard missing from dock, not in apps folder

Question

Dashboard missing from dock, not in apps folder

Okay....hmmm how do I start?

Well I bought this mac off of my brother's friend...like 4 days ago? And accidentally deleted dashboard from the apps folder =.=;;; well it's not in my dock anymore but I can still press F12 and it comes up no problem (and still functions correctly) I guess my question is how can I restore this app back to the apps folder and dock...?

Help would be greatly, greatly appreciated 😀

PowerMac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Late 2004

you may have just moved it. check your trash folder and do a spotlight search for Dashboard.app. if you can't find it then you can pull Dashboard.app off the Leopard install dvd using Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/

then you need to get one. demand it from the seller. you can not run leopard legally without owning a leopard disk. if the seller won't give it to you buy a copy of leopard somewhere else. and do an erase and install once you get it. anything else is less than prudent when buying a used computer.
