My family just got XP and each have our own user section.
How do I transfer files such as Excel or Word from one
user to the other?
 
Hi,

Right mouse click on the file,

Click on Properties,

Click on the Security tab

This should open up the security page with the users
listed. Here you should be able to specify permissions to
the file for each user profile.

Hi,

Just a few notes:

You can use your Shared Docs folder, but, keep in mind
that all users can use/see the file.

The other way involves setting the security options for
each user, and each file individually.

As far as I know, whether you have XP home or XP pro, you
should be able to use either method.

Hope this helps and good luck,
Lynn
 
She'll also have to turn off simple file sharing in Explorer, Tools\Folder
Options\View, before she can access the security tab as you advise.
