Hi Jan, thank you for responding. It's good to know, there is still a backdoor, which I will follow as plan B. I now will take as an easier shortcut /Applications/myFolder/ to share my files among all users. Because I don't only have a registration and ini file, which needs to be shared, I also have to share 8GB of videos for all users, this seems to me the easiest way. Obviously it is not the recommended way by apple, because I don't see any other application folders in /Applications/, but nevertheless it seems to work after granting my file with chmod to all users.
Does anybody see anything serious against this approach?
