Hi Gang
1st thanks for all the info.
Eduoard I have a system, admin, everyone - system and admin is read and write, everyone read only logging out and back in doesn't help me.
Blick the reason I don't want to keep down loading from the App Store is my internet speed is not very good only 1 meg down load if that it takes for ever to download some anything I live out in the boonies.
Just trying to speed things up if I have to reinstall been trying to find an app to make my own installer from the apps that I have so I can just reinstall them but with no luck
cheers
