When you create multiple user accounts a folder is created for the users
documents e.g. "Mike's Documents" and that is usually displayed in the window
when you click on my computer under 'files stored on this computer' heading.
But when i create a new account now it doesn't show up and some of the older
accounts folders are not there anymore. Is there a max number of accounts for
XP? I have like 8 now. So how do i get the folders to be displayed there
again.

Also i would like everyone to have almost administrator like abilites except
the ability to change others password. Can there be a setting for that so
that only ONE TRUE administrator is there and the rest have all the abilities
except changing each others passwords.

There is a key in the registry that sometimes gets whacky:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths

In the right panel, there is an entry for each User's Account Profile path.

Just add the one's you need.
