Solve : My documents folders, and related folders help please?

1.	Solve : My documents folders, and related folders help please?
Answer» Ok.. got a question for the experts. A friend of mine went out and bought an external HD. They want to move their "my documents" stuff to the new HD. I managed to use the "properties" of my documents to relocate the FILES to the new HD, but they are no longer private. meaning the other users of the computer now have access to those files.. Not only that, the "temporary internet files" and user setting files, and such, are still on the C drive.. How do we change the location of those files, and make the "my documents" stuff, private again, so that other users cannot access another persons documents? Thanks. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310147Quote from: Broni on July 23, 2008, 09:17:53 PM http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310147 yeah, I did that.. Unfortunately it opens up the "my documents" of each user, to EVERY other user.. In other words if user 1 logs on and goes to "my computer" then goes to the D drive, they can see and access the "my documents" of user 2 and user 3. That's what I need to fix. Any ideas? Why are you using a external drive for this? Did you format the drive with NTFS? Quote from: Spoiler on July 24, 2008, 08:06:26 AM Why are you using a external drive for this? Did you format the drive with NTFS? they are using an external drive, because the stupid blonde (family friend) didn't do what I told her to do, which was get a bigger INTERNAL drive, to replace the mere 40 GIG drive they had. She listened to a fancy pants sales person instead of the family friend whose been doing computers SINCE the first PC's came out..and who has fixed their computer several times over the years.. at no cost. So now they want me to make their "my documents" and all the temp internet stuff work off the new external D drive, and still make it so that no one else can access each OTHERS files. I should have told her to take it back to the sales guy and have HIM do the stuff for them.
