Using X.2.3. Use local users and classic apps. WHen trying to privelige classic apps in the capabilities section of the user, no apps appear under the Applications for OS 9 list. THerefore classic apps won't run under the user becasue they're not priviliged. Oddly, some of the OS 9 apps appear under the Applications list, which is for X apps. You can't add the apps to the Other list either! I tried moving the apps to every possible folder, and bulleted them, but they don't show up. How do I get the apps in the right place so they can show up in the right list so i can use them with other users?

I've got a few apps that aren't showing up under the Applications (OS 9) list in Capabilities...

If I hit the Locate... button, it loads them under Others.

But will the OS 9 app open in the user you created? What is it that designates what application appears under the correct folder? How does the OS know it is a X or 9 app....? Where on the HD is it?

Can you get a non-admin user to launch classic apps if you have the capabilities enabeled for the user to only run certain apps? I'm not having that ability.

Ideas?

No! If I check the "Use only these applications", i can not run a OS 9 app under that user. But if i leave it unchecked so the user can use all apps, then it will work.

If you can't even check that box, then you really have a problem. I'd do a permissions restore or clean install. Or create a new user.
