"Shared Documents" Not Accessible

[Jacob Allen]

For some reason, I cannot access the Shared Documents
folder from my various user accounts in Windows XP. In
fact, the folder is now just called "Documents" but
cannot be accessed by any users.

Thanks for the help.

"Shared Documents" is what appears in Windows Explorer, but the file is
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents". The wonders of user
shell folders.

Can't help you much unless I know whether you are using XP Home or XP
Pro and whether you are using simple file sharing or not. Please note
whether "Shared Documents" has simply disappeared from Windows Explorer
or whether you really can't access "Documents" in the All Users profile
if you go there.
