[QUOTE="remain, post: 446804, member: 23182"] For #1: The folder "aMSN Received Files" is a folder that aMSN created. By default, it's where the files you'll receive from other people will go. As dtravis7 said, you can change this in aMSN's Preferences: aMSN > Preferences... "Others" tab Change the path next to "Received Files folder". As for #2 and #3... Seems like you don't completely understand how installing applications works on Mac OS X. Here are the steps whenever you want to install an app: First, most apps will come in a DMG file. Then... [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_1.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_2.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_3.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_4.png[/IMG] If you understand the above, then now you should know what to do with #2 and #3. Here's what should be done: Double-click [B]amsn-0.97rc1.dmg[/B] (the disk image). This will make [B]amsn 0.97 rc1[/B] (the Volume) appear on your Desktop. It should open automatically in a new window. (If it doesn't, double-click [B]amsn 0.97 rc1[/B].) Inside that window, you should see [B]aMSN[/B] (the program itself). Like the picture above says, [B]do not open aMSN in here[/B]. (If you have, quit aMSN.) Instead, [B]drag aMSN out of the window onto your Desktop.[/B] You can then put aMSN anywhere you want. It doesn't matter on a Mac where you put your programs (for most programs). But of course, it's best to [B]put it in the Applications folder[/B]; it's at Macintosh HD > Applications. Now, you can Eject [B]amsn 0.97 rc1[/B] (the Volume); right-click > Eject. And you can now delete [B]amsn-0.97rc1.dmg[/B] (the disk image). Just aMSN. aMSN is a MSN Messenger clone. It's a completely separate program of its own. [/QUOTE]
