I have a new MacBook, and it does not/not have two application  
folders. I'm the only user on it at the moment (no guest account or  
other family member, unlike the iMac); does it create the second  
folder in my home directory only when there are multiple users?  Am I  
correct in assuming that I can manually create the second folder in my  
home directory if I want to move some apps there in the event I do  
create a guest account? I know I could try some of things on my own to  
see whether this would work, but everything is working fine and I  
hesitate to risk upsetting the apple cart playing with apps that way.

Thanks,
Rick
