hi guys,
i'm working on a winxp machine that has 2 users that need access to all the same information. i'd like to keep things as transparent as possible so windows doesn't really appear to function differently than normal. i've also read up on changing the target folder for the "My Documents" folder. my idea is to create a new folder and point both accounts MyDocs folder towards that new folder. i understand there may be the occasion where one user will want to use a file that the other user has open but that is a minimal concern. i'd also like to make is easier to back up the files from both users with a single operation instead of digging through things.
so the big question is: is there any reason that its a bad idea for 2 users on the same machine to use the same logical folder as their my documents folder?
