Hello, I'm trying to sort out a home network with 3 computers and have run
into a problem. What I'm trying to do is to create network shortcuts on the
desktops of each of the computers for each other's desktop.
One of my computers, call it MAIN, has 4 different user folders under
Documents and Settings named ADMINISTRATOR, ALL USERS, DEFAULT USER, and
USER. Important files or folders are scattered through the different
account's desktop folders. In the CONTROL PANEL/USER ACCOUNTS only MAIN and
GUEST are listed, since there is only one user for this computer. When I log
on as MAIN (the only choice I have) the desktop folder that opens seems to be
rooted in All Users.
My question is, can I safely move desktop items from the other account's
desktop folders into my ALL USERS desktop folder. I'm trying to simplify the
creation of shortcuts for the other users on the network. I don't want to
have to create 4 network shortcuts for all the desktop folders on the MAIN
computer.
An additional question is, can I delete the other account folders manually?
I'm not given this option in the CONTROL PANEL/USER ACCOUNTS, since only two
accounts are listed.
Any advice, suggestions, links would be very very welcome. It's all very
confusing to me. And thanks for reading this. I hope I was thorough.
