How is it possible for a user with an administrator account under Windows XP
Home to see all other "User's Documents" folders and their contents under "My
Computer"? Normally, a user with an administrator account should see under
"My Computer" only their own Documents folder, the Shared Documents folder
and the Documents folders of users not protected by a logon password.
Documents folders for users with logon passwords are not displayed under My
Computer and access to these folders via the "Documents and Settings" folder
on the hard drive is denied. However, there seems to be a method of
circumventing these protections so that a user with an administrator account
under Windows XP Home can see the Documents folders of all users, whether or
not protected by a login password, under My Computer, and furthermore can see
all the subfolders and files (but not necessarily the file contents unless
given full access permission). Any ideas how this is done?
