Re: Saving files to other user accounts?

Richard, question for you on your reply.
I've done what Keith was asking about (by attempting to access the other
users files via 'C:\Users\otheruser', responding to the prompt stating I
didn't have access, then allowing Vista to change permissions, giving me full
access. I'll also mention, that I subsequently removed that access by
modifying the permissions 'manually'.

What was I risking by doing that? Is this a known issue with Vista?
Thanks.
