user account management

[AJM]

Hello
When I set-up password protection for my user account on XP home I was given
the option to make my files private to other users, which I did.
I want to reverse the above action. I have removed the password easily but
cannot work out how to 'unprivate' my files and make my files viewable to
other users etc.
Thanks for help

Right click My Documents and select Properties from the menu.
On the Sharing tab, remove the check mark from the box next to
"Make this folder private".
Click OK.
