    How can I access all files with all users on local device?


    I have multiple users on my desktop PC, and I want all users to access all files across accounts. Just to be clear, I am not looking at how to share OneDrive files, everything is stored locally on a C: drive.How can I simply share apps and files so it's possible to use Windows as intended?I'm on Windows 11 Home 22H2, for whatever that is worth
