OS X Lion

[Pete]

A while back there was a discussion on the changes in access privileges to
some directories in Lion, I believe mainly to do the system Library
directory.

Yesterday, I went through the process of installing an LC app on Lion for
the first time, and also experiencing Lion for the first time.  I don't
need to access the system Library directory but I do need to put a
Preferences file in the user's Library/Preferences folder which I assume is
still the place for preferences files to go.

Pre-Lion, I would just click on the icon for my Home directory, then
navigate to Library/Preferences in the Finder.  In Lion, I could not find a
home directory icon to click on, nor could I find an icon representing the
computer's hard drive, either on the desktop or in any Finder windows that
I could see.

I should say I do not have a real installation process for this app, it's
something I put together quickly for a friend, so I was simply copying
files from a CD to his computer.  We didn't have much time to do the
install so I wasn't able to poke around Lion to see if there is a way for a
user (a System Admin user of course) to get to the Library/Preferences
folder.

Hopefully someone can give me some guidance on this.  I'm also left to
wonder if my application will be able to access the preferences file even
if I manage to put it into /Library/Preferences.

Thanks,
