You can run an application on a CD-ROM disc without having to copy it to the hard drive.
Follow these steps for the version of At Ease you have:
At Ease 1.0
1. Insert the CD-ROM disc containing the program you wish to give access to.
2. Open the At Ease Setup control panel in the Control Panels folder of your System Folder.
3. Click the Select Items button.
4. Click the Desktop button in the Open Dialog box. Double-click the name of the CD-ROM disc that appears in the window in the left side of the Open Dialog box. Click the Gather Applications... button.
5. A dialog box will appear telling you which applications are on the disc that are not in At Ease. You will have the option to Add or Cancel. Click Add. You can remove any extra unwanted applications from the At Ease Items window by selecting each once and clicking Remove.
6. Click Done, close the At Ease setup window.
At Ease 2.0.3 and At Ease 3.0
1. Insert the CD-ROM disc containing the program you wish to give access to.
2. Open the At Ease Setup program.
3. Double click the Setup you would like to add the program to.
4. Click the Items icon to open the Items panel. Click the Add Applications button.
5. In the Add Applications screen, you will see a choice of applications on the left side. Click and hold the word "Disk" at the top left corner to see the pop-up menu.
6. Select the name of the CD-ROM which is currently in your computer and release. At Ease will search for any applications on that CD.
7. Double-click the name of the program you want to add to the list of Items for This Setup on the right. Or, you can hold the shift key while single-clicking each application to select multiple items and then click the ">>Add>>" button. Repeat this process until you have added all the programs you want from the CD-ROM disc.
8. Step 8 for At Ease 3.0 only
At Ease 3.0 can allow access to all, none, or only administrator defined CD-ROM discs. Under the Options menu, choose CD-ROM Preferences. In order for the user of this setup to access the program you just added from this CD, click "Allow access to all CD-ROMs" (default setting).
If you want to limit access to only certain CD-ROMs discs, click the "Only allow access to the specified CD-ROMs" button. If you choose this option, you must click the Add button and select the mounted CD-ROM with the program you just added to this Setup. You can eject this disc and add other discs you want users of this setup to have access to from within this panel.
9. Click the "OK" button and follow the rest of the steps as necessary to set up At Ease the way you like.
When you return to At Ease, you will see the button for the application you added in the At Ease panel. If you click the button and the disc is not already in the computer, a message asking you to insert the proper CD-ROM disc will appear.
