XP - Sharing Folders

[Melton Fox]

Is it possible for every user on the same Windows XP PC to be able to access certain folders.?

For example; I would like all the users on my home PC to be able to use the same version of My Music and My Pictures without me having to create seperate folders, dragging and dropping everything and then having to update them everytime I upload some new pics and new music.

Thank you

Cheers Duzza, but that only allows me to share across the newtork, not on the same PC.

I think the shared Documents folder in My Computer is the only way to do it...if I've understood the question correctly, of course.

An external drive or a partition dedicated to photo's and music may be the answer?

Mackys would work, or if you wanted to do it a convoluted way you could create a shared folder on one account, and then map drive letters on everyone elses account to that shared folder. Probably better to do it Mackys way!

No it isn't, I don't want to share My Documents, I just want to share My Pics and My Music.

You won't need to.
Just move or copy your Music & Pics folders into the Shared Documents folder
