How to share files between different user accounts on the same computer?

Hello

On my computer I set up 3 user accounts only I will use: hand admin, admin of spare and Standard. I'm trying to follow the Security Council use the standard account for everyday use. However, I can't work a way to share personal data files and folders between these accounts.

I tried, for example, in the main admin account right click on My Documents and then share with so specific people then all add to the list and give each read/write permissions. However when I look then in My Documents on the 2 other accounts main admin account documents will not appear.

What I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

  • Windows 7 - Clone user account on the same computer

    In Windows 7, I have a single account to user configured with all the settings I want it - essentially a default account.

    I tried to just create a new account based on this account, but the "Copy To" button is grayed out on everything except the "default" account.  (I did the settings for the default account, but I didn't know how to connect to it).

    I don't know if this is a defect, or in Microsoft for this.

    Is there a way to make this account the value by default so that I can use it to clone other accounts on the same computer?

    Is there an easy way to do this?

    I found a way to clone the account.

    Logon as the administrator, you can create a new account with the name that you want for it (for example "new user"), and then restart.

    Connecting under the administrator again, copy the files to the account you want to clone, to the new account.  (it takes a lot of time), when it finished, and then re - start.

    The new account will be a duplicate of the source account.

    Please note, that since it is a duplicate, of the default file locations will be for the account of the source, so you'll have to go through and change them manually.

    It is not an elegant solution, but it is easier than creating the account to start from scratch and do all the settings.

    It would be nice if there was a way to personalize the account 'by default'.

    If you listen to Microsoft, please consider this for the future.

  • NO STARTUP OFFICE OR WINDOWS ON ONE OF THE 2 USER ACCOUNTS ON THE SAME COMPUTER

    My computer starts normal and the screen returns to choose a user account (we have only 2 users). If you click on a user that everything works, great and all programs operate normal. If you choose the other account, he goes to a clear blue screen with only a cursor instead of run my normal desktop. No start menu, the desktop icons,... nothing, but blue! If I start it in safe mode, I see everything that needs to be on my desk under normal features so I don't know the files and desktop settings are still there but am obviously limited in safe mode for what you can do. I had some freezing issues and thought I might have disabled application in the Manager of tasks that I wouldn't by chance, but not sure. I tried a system restore to get the settings from a week ago, but nothing has changed... just a blue screen. Is there a file I can enter to run which could remedy?

    There is no program in the task manager that would do what you feel - nothing that you turned off or that it would result.  If it had been reset to start in safe mode, instead of the normal mode, he would do this (not go to the blue screen).  It could be a more general problem, but I tend to rule that out at the moment (although we have to return) because one of the accounts works very well.

  • can I reset an administrator password with a reset disk created on a standard account on the same computer?

    I forgot my password to administrstor. I have a reset disk, but it was created under the standard account on the same computer and for some reason that I have problems to use it to reset the administrator password. I am able to do?

    No, the password reset disks only helps with the account, they were made on [otherwise any user could reset the admin password & enter this account].

    There are some things you can try in the PDF Password Reset Disk step by step Guide to http://www.itknowledge24.com/ but you may not be able to solve the problem without reinstall Windows & lose the current contents of the disc.

  • How to share files between Windows XP and Windows 7 without password?

    Hey guys, I want to share files between windows 7 and windows XP. I don't want to put the password on my Windows 7 or Windows XP account. I am going on my Windows XP perfectly shared files from Windows 7, but I am not able to go on my files of windows 7, the cause of my XP he asks user name and password. I enter the user name and it does not accept it if I make a password for my windows 7 and enter as the user name... I don't know what to do guys any help?

    Windows 7 only WILL NOT allow you to share files without a password, it's all just a common sense safety requirement.  It of a very bad practice to run your Windows installations with a null value, a password, give your facility a valid password.

    The simplest around your problem is to create an account with the same names and passwords on each machine and so typed the password when the connection is too a problem allow AutoLogon on the machines.

  • Two different user names for the same account!

    We bought my son a laptop and have set up a user account for him which is a standard user account and an administrator account to monitor and adjust security settings. However, our administrator account on the configuration page and the login screen is called MumandDad (which is what we want!) but when you go into Windows Live or the list of records or other areas where the username is the user name is Joseph. User account from my son named Joseph on connect to the Setup page and the page, but once again under folders etc. it is called Joseph2 - what should I do so that all folders/accounts read the same as the log in / page of the control panel?

    Joseph2 is not an account name - is the name of the profile folder. If the name of the profile folder generally conform with the name of the account, there is sometimes a difference. There is nothing to worry about - just leave it as it is. Change it and can cause serious problems.
