Hey,
With the drives im guessing you mean disk images?
To fix that up, open the original image with the name of the program and sometimes other files. Drag the Application icon in the applications folder, and then put the other files (if there is) into another folder if you see fit.
Then close the program, delete the DMG (Disk Image) and your all good.
Not too sure about B, and for C someone did post something a little while ago but I'm not to sure.

1) AS iEddy said, you do nor normally want to run an application from the disk image it cam in. Mount the disk image, drage the application to where you want it to go, eject the image, the delete the dmg file.

2) <alt>arrow

3) System Preferences => Sharing => Computer Name
