[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1210164, member: 112842"] The statement in bold above is not correct. Allow me to explain. The Icon labeled "Applications" in the Dock, and the one so labeled under "Places" (in what is called the Sidebar, as it's on the side of a Finder Window) are not your actual Applications Folder. Both of the above are "pointers", or, in Windows parlance "shortcuts" to the actual folder. As stated in another post above, your real Applications Folder is in the "top level" folder which you access by double clicking on the icon in the upper right corner of your Desktop. That is the one and only place that it exists, normally. (Some people also have another one in their User folder. - or more if there are multiple user accounts) [/QUOTE]
