Hello Charles,

I would be most interested in getting Alan Zisman's opinion on this query,
also.  Please feel free to express yourself.  ;-))

Thank you for the quick answer!

If the current logged user has admin permissions and installs software,
then the software _should_ be available to all users; but this doesn't
appear to be the case with many of the applications.  I've seen a limited
number of application installations that query the installer whether the
application is to be available to ALL users or only the current user...

May I quiz you for a more involved / detailed response?

Since all the programs were installed by myself, with admin permission,
would it be possible to modify the permissions for the programs in question
by using some application that is within the Administrative Tool folder?  I
spent some time perusing the tools but if there is something that will
change the permissions of specific applications, then I've missed it.

           Thanks ... Gerald
