[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1225373, member: 24160"] MYmacROX covered actually getting yhem installed. Any app that is installed via simple drag and drop into the Applications folder can indeed be run without installing it. Once the dmg is opened you can click on the app and run it without moving it into your Apps folder. Any app you run this way while sitting in your downloads folder or install somewhere in your user account rather than the Applications folder would not be able to be accessed by another non-admin user account. I use to try out a lot of apps this way while deciding if I was going to keep it or not. [/QUOTE]
