| | Re: Shared Folder by Multiple Users in VISTA? You might be able to change your documents folder to the public folder. I made my downloads folder the public downloads folder, but I have not tried this with the documents folder. Right click Documents, select properties. Select the location tab. Select the Move.. button and make your changes.
