Show Me Microsoft Windows XP (2nd Edition)

Windows maintains a set of personal folders and options for everyone on your computer to make sure the contents of each user 's personal folders remain private. The contents of your personal folders are private, unless you decide to share the contents with others who use your computer. If you want the other users on your computer to have access to files, you can place those files in a shared folder (called the Shared Documents folder) that each user can access. If you're connected to a network, the files in the shared folder are available to network users.

Select the files or folders you want to share.

Drag the selected items onto the Shared Documents item.
