| Windows XP Pro & Windows Vista Ultimate x64 | How do I share the My Documents between Xp n Vista Right now I have Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. I just got the Vista Ultimate DVD and plan on installing it. I know how to dual boot. But the real question is how do I share the My Documents between Vista and XP. I plan on making a new partition just for the My Documents and have both XP and Vista use it. How do I do that and is there going to be any problems that may arise when sharing the My Documents between two computers? Also, is it possible to make one of my partitions My Document instead of having the My Documents inside the hard-drive? Thanks. |

I think you'd be better off just making a folder called "Data" or the like on the extra partition and using it instead of My/Documents. Share it so Everyone has full access. Nothing says you *have* to use My/ Documents. If you use Microsoft Office programs a lot, you can set the default saving location to your new Data folder. Sometimes you can do this in other programs, too. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User |
