If I have 2 users on XP (one is "A" and is the administrator and the
other is "B") and I always log into the "A" account and user word to
type documents, can I save them under the "B" user documents folder?
I ask this cause a friend asked if they could delete the "B" account on
their computer cause they never log on to it or use this profile and we
figured it would be fine to delete it, however, she claims she was
saving documents under the "B" profile without ever logging into the
"B" user account. She wouldn't have turned on sharing cause she would
not know how to do this. I would have thought that the my documents
folder for the "B" profile would be invisible if you logged into the
profile for the "A" user?

Please help! She never backed up these important documents either.

Thank you in advance.

Maybe make both accounts administrator so they can both see each others
documents. Maybe just temporarily.

Another idea might be to change the location of the my document folder
and make it shared in such a way as to make it the same for both
accounts. I think in XP you can change the location of My Documents to
point to the other account's My Documents or put them both to a separate
third location. Might look for some documentation on this.

Another idea is to go back to previous settings.
