accessible to everyone. Is my logic wrong?
Yes, they are accessible by everyone, but the default permissions
only allow the Owner group to delete or change them. Since you are
using Pro (logged in as admin, of course), just right-click the
folder and go to Properties. On the Security tab, highlight
Computername\Users and give the group full control. That should do
the trick. It can be done in XP Home, too, but you must reboot to
Safe Mode to get the security tab.
Alternatively, on a home computer, you can give Users full control of
the My Documents folder as well. I did that with my limited account
so I have full access even when logged in as admin. Just put a
shortcut somewhere to make it easier to get to.
HTH.
