[X4U] How would I....

[Milton van der Veen]

I would assume you moved your user account from the G4 to your new 
computer. And the Applications you're talking about are all in the 
Applications folder on the G4.

Then the easiest that I know of would be to make a new user on the 
computer with your wife's login and password. Be sure to make her user 
account an admin. You could also make her account the account the 
computer logs into automatically when it is booted.

Then log into your wife's new account and delete your original account. 
You would, of course, lose any files in the folders associated with the 
original account, but they're on your new computer, aren't they?
