4 family members, same iMac... Do I need to download apps (e.g., MSN Messenger) to each user's acct?

Nope, "Applications" is a common folder. However, the preferences for each application will most likely be stored in each user's folder.

Check to make sure that it is in the "Applications" folder? Everyone should be able to access the programs in there, as far as I know.

Sorry so dumb... It appears there's no Messenger app when in other's account. Do I need to verify it's somewhere specific? (I'm the "administrator," so it's in my acct, but haven't seen it when I go into a child's acct.)

Note: each user has their own "dock" and shortcuts. Therefore each user will have to create the ones they want - MSN will not show in everyone's dock, they will have to drag it there from the applications folder themselves.
