Default Re: User Accounts Help!

Remove the items from the All Users account, and place what you want in your own account, and what you want them to have in the Guest account. (Cross posting removed.) Also go to your documents folder in My Computer or Explorer, right-click it and choose Sharing and Security, check the box next to Make this folder private.
