I keep most on my user data on an external USB (IDE) drive, currently with a FAT32 partition.
I plan to convert it to NTFS, and my main concern is with the ACL. I move the drive between 2-3 different XP machines with different user accounts, and I want to make sure that all files are always accessible to everyone, regardless of what computer I connect it to. On my own computer, I want them to appear under My Documents. Also, if my system crashes, I want to avoid the hazard of not being able to access My Documents if the user accounts crash.
How do I set the ACL in Win7 and XP Pro SP3 to achieve the maximum portability as per above?
