If more than one person logs onto your PC, or if you have more than one account, chances are that you made more than one account for a reason, probably access control. However, even if this is the case, sometimes there are documents, shortcuts, desktop items, and Favorites that you would like to apply for All Users to the computer. For this, Windows 2000 and XP include an “All Users” folder. To utilize this, open the hard drive that Windows is installed on in Windows Explorer. Find the “Documents and Settings” Folder, and then the “All Users” folder. From there, you will find a folder for “Shared Documents,” “Desktop,” “Start Menu,” and “Favorites.” Add whatever you feel should be shared among the users in that folder, and the next time the users login, they will see and have access to all that “All Users” see and have access to, namely, the Shared Documents, Desktop, Start Menu Items, and Favorites.
