Changing some aplications location
Hi guys.
Recently I've made from my HD a new partition wich in encrypted and has a password.
So, I want to install some aplications on that partition and those aplications I want them to have the aplication support libraries on that partition also.
I've tried to edit some details about some folders but I haven't succeeded in nothing (i didn't knew exactly what I was doing).
So, can u guys help me?
I have an IMac G5 Mac OSX 10.3.9.
Thank you.

With some exceptions, most applications will work just fine from anywhere. Application support has one of two standardized locations--/Library/Application Support/ for all users or ~/Library/Application Support/ for your account. You cannot break-up your Library folders. You can, however, move your home directory to a different volume.
In the interest of full disclosure, some apps place many of their support files in your account's Documents folder. Microsoft's apps are major offenders in this regard.

They'd use a registery if they could. So glad I don't have registery nightmares any more.
