I have some files which must be shared for all users (see my previous threads). Thats why I had those files in the past in /library/preferences/ and now for Lion in /applications/myFolder/ which works for fresh installations. Now I wanted to migrate my files for existing installations, who upgraded to Lion to the new location, but I don't get them off the old location. Tiemo
