Windows 10: How do I make files in my user area available to other users on the same computer

How do I make files in my user area available to other users on the same computer

:)

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

 

Removing a "hidden" user and user files

Thanks for your patience. I was able with "Net User" to remove the left over user. It no longer appears when I invoke Net User.

Now for the user's folder which remains behind. After performing the series of steps that you suggested, I attempted to delete this folder. The result again was an error message about permission


"Administrators" appears on the list in the list of advanced security.

 

Second user account access to files (documents, pictures) as on primary user account with WIndows 10

Hi,

Groups or users that are granted Full Control permission for a folder can delete files and subfolders within that folder, regardless of the permissions that protect the files and subfolders. If the check boxes under Permissions for <User or Group> are shaded
or if the Remove button is unavailable, the file or folder has inherited permissions from the parent folder. When adding a new user or group, by default, this user or group will have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permissions.

Setting File and Folder Permissions

To set permissions for files and folders, follow these steps:

• 
  In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to work with.
  
• 
  From the pop-up menu, select Properties, and then in the Properties dialog box click the Security tab, shown in Figure 13-12.
  
• 
  Users or groups that already have access to the file or folder are listed in the Name list box. You can change permissions for these users and groups by doing the following:
  
  • 
    Select the user or group you want to change.
    
  • 
    Use the Permissions list box to grant or deny access permissions.
    
  Tip Inherited permissions are shaded. If you want to override an inherited permission, select the opposite permission.
  
• 
  To set access permissions for additional users, contacts, computers, or groups, click Add. This displays the Select Users, Computers, Or Groups dialog box shown in Figure 13-13.
  
  
  
  Figure 13-12: Use the Security tab to configure basic permissions for the file or folder.
  
• 
  Use the Select Users, Computers, Or Groups dialog box to select the users, computers, or groups for which you want to set access permissions. You can use the fields of this dialog box as follows:
  
  • 
    Look In This drop-down list box allows you to access account names from other domains. Click Look In to see a list of the current domain, trusted domains, and other resources that you can access. Select
    Entire Directory to view all the account names in the folder.
    
  • 
    Name This column shows the available accounts of the currently selected domain or resource.
    
  • 
    Add This button adds selected names to the selection list.
    
  • 
    Check Names This button validates the user, contact, and group names entered into the selection list. This is useful if you type names in manually and want to make sure they're available.
    
• 
  In the Name list box, select the user, computer, or group you want to configure, and then use the fields in the Permissions area to allow or deny permissions. Repeat for other users, computers, or groups.
  
• 
  Click OK when you're finished.
  

For any other concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.
