How to share files & folders with other users on the same PC

We have 2 users on our PC I can find how to 'share' on a network, but not on the same PC (I'm a user 'low tech') all the headings of 'aid' seemed to refer to a network of more than 1 PC

Files/folders that you want to share between users on the same machine should be placed in the Public, C:\Users\Public directory. That is what concerns the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • share 'Start' content and presentation of the tile with multiple users on the same Tablet Windows RT

    Hello

    Can someone tell me if it is possible to share/copy the content start and the tile layout with multiple users on the same shelf?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to share or copy the content start and available to tile with multiple users. However, you can rearrange the tiles and select the content to be displayed manually on each of the user accounts.

    See these articles for more details:

  • How to share and protect photos from deletion on the same PC?

    On a single windows with several users PC how it accomplishes what follows?

    1. Allow the main user allows to have full control over the images on the PC and the catalogue BUT be protected against accidental deletion/move through windows file Explorer.
    2. Allow other users on the same computer, the ability to view images using the simple native windows Viewer BUT ALSO be protected against their deletion or move files.

    Here are some examples, I'd like to protect.

    • Woman is in a machine folder and accidentally moved 1999 2000 folder so she could not find.
    • Child deleted the folder (in this case unless it is a top-level folder, how do we know yet?)

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    You must use the Windows permissions to do this.  The main user would have full control over the images of the root folder, while other users have only read access.

    Let us know if you are interested in this approach, and we can provide the mechanics of setting this up.

  • IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

    We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

    Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

    Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

    So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

    An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

    Hello

    You can copy the table from edge to edge of the shared folder to the catalog and give permissions as read access.
    Otherwise, you must provide your credentials to other users to see which is not good.

  • How to restict access to the folder on the computer to other users on the same computer

    I'm trying to configure the control perental on the computer and I can't work, how restict access to the file

    I don't think that the Parental controls in Vista can control access to the individual files of the system (programs, a lot of things on the internet, but not this one).

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate, you can use the encryption of files to block access to the files/folders that you don't want other users to be able to access (except for administrators who can override the settings, but you'll know).  Here's how: http://computershopper.com/software/howto/encrypting-files-in-windows-vista.

    If you do not have these versions, try Lock Folder http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/ (the free version should do the trick if the paid version has more options).  Still, it uses encryption to block access.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I want to share address books between different users on the same PC

    Hello
    We have a PC with two different users, but there is only one email address shared between them. We have a copy installed Thunderbird one of each user and a user has multiple accounts for privacy reasons. It would be really useful to have a shared common address book to access addresses of. Is this possible?

    Cheers, Marcus

    Marcus,
    It's really simple comes to mind, but here are two ideas to consider, depending on how often Exchange address book:
    (1) if the shared e-mail address is gmail, each user can then install the add-on gContactSync and let Google have the master copy. That would give each of you frequent clocks to the same address book.
    (2) easy, but not automatic approach would be for a user to be responsible for changes and periodically (daily, weekly,...) export the address book to a ldif file. The other user could then import the address book on behalf of TB.

  • Both adf shares VO even with different params on the same screen

    Hello everyone,
    My current problem is that I need to create a screen with several sharing the same VO graphics but with different settings for each of them.
    Lets assume I want to use EmployeesVO to show the 2 graphs on the same page jspx.
    A chart will display all the salaries of employees for the "Marketing" Department and the other will show all the salaries of employees for the Department 'IT '.
    Remember, I want them both on the same screen.
    The read-only VO will look like this:
    SELECT First_Name
    Salary
    Employees
    WHERE department_id =: p_dept

    To do this, I did the following:
    For each graph, I created an iterator.
    For each iterator I created an ExecuteWithParams. (a receiver "Depto Marketing" and anther receive "IL Depto")
    For each ExecuteWithParams, I created an InvokeAction.

    When executing the application all the graphs show the same information. All of them show only one (the last in the list of executables InvokeAction) Department.

    The question is: how to keep each graph has their own parameter on the same screen?

    I am tempted to say yes, "it is". However, given that you probably want to ask HOW do, that is: open a session under an administrator account, then copy the files to any profile folder to any other profile folder.
