sharing documents between administrator and limited accounts in Windows XP Pro

93 New Member
In Windows XP Pro, in addition to an administrator account, I also have a limited account for going online. (Yes, I also take virtually all of the other recommended precautions against malware.)

I want my administrator and limited accounts to be able to share all my documents (as well as my favorites and Desktop items), with the limited account to have the same privileges as my administrator account to create, read, write, edit, save, and delete these documents.

And I would like to apply these requirements not only to documents to be created after I implement this scenario, but also to documents that already exist. And would like the whole implementation to be simple and easy to use.

Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but so far I haven't found anything on the net that tells me (clearly, at least) how to do all this as I've just described.

Any suggestions?

If you place all your files in shared documents, then is there a way if you right click on My Documents in your start menu you can change the Target folder location to point to the shared documents.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 64bit. I loaded Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro onto it. I set up the PDF printer under my administrator account and my user account. Permissions have been set to allow the same rights to both accounts. When I log on as administrator the PDF Printer works as expected. But when I log on as a user, it does not work. No error messages. Nothing in the print cue. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
