Hi everyone!

I'm new here also but I've posted a couple questions in some other threads. Now it's time for my third question. And i'm sure there will be more. I have an older Mac (PowerPC G4) that I bought.

I created a second account. How can I copy a program(s) to another account if I don't have the discs? The only discs that came with the machine was the Leopard disc so the other programs were installed already such as Office and Toast.

Thanks in advance!

Or you might try copying them in to the root Applications folder and just see if they still work

THere is an applications folder on the top level of your hard disk,

That folder is for applications shared by all users

To copy folder s drag them while pressing the alt key (a little green plus will appear)

Ok I know which folder you're talking about but I can't find the program folder -in this case it's Toast Titanium. I can find the program in the Finder and it says it's in the Application folder but I don't see it.
