what are the differences? and can standard account download applications without administrator privileges? and what settings does standard account have access to?
The standard account can be given permissiosn to have almost all the same permissions as the Admin account.
But it would ask you regularly for the Admin password when installing things and so.
Many people say it is better to use a standar account for the day to day use, this way your computer is more secure. I myself prefer using the Admin account always.
To answer your first questions, yes, you can download apps, but it may sometimes ask you for an admin password.
so u can give almost all administrator privileges without making the account administrator and the only thing that requires admin authentication is for installing certain things? im talking about tiger here, and how do u do this (make the standard account have alot of privileges)?
I'm curious. How/When is this Applications folder created?The software can also be installed to the Applications folder inside the home directory without authenticating, but it can only be used by that user themselves.

goto finder, on the side you will see applications, its more of a directory
Roger that.The apps folder in the sidebar is the root applications folder (into which apps normally get installed, and any user can run them).
This is where you lost me. I do not see an Applications folder inside any of my Users. All I see are these:Any account created by the normal OS X process has some folders automatically inside the home directory (the one with your user name), right? One of those is a second Applications folder. The user has read/write permissions to this folder and can install apps to it.
