Hi All. I am new to this forum, please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place!
I am running leopard on an imac I bought for my son last year. I created an account specifically for him that I run a limited finder for him so he can't get into too much trouble since he is young. We have bought several games from the mac store like Cars, Blue's Clues, JumpStart and a few others. The problem is that all these games require you use the disk every time you play the game.
Before I upgraded to leopard we had mounted some of them as disk images on the main user account and gave him permission to access them but didn't really like this method because he could accidentally eject the images but now with leopard and the limited finder it does not allow him to view disk images anyway.
My question is how does the mac store run their games off the computers in the store so all the computers have access to it without a disk and can I do this at home? He is too young to constantly put a game disk in and out of the computer plus I don't want him handling them because I know he will ruin them. It would be nice if they just sat in his applications folder and he could click once on them and play them.
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks so much!!
