The Shared Documents folder in My Documents is new in Windows XP Professional. This folder appears when two or more user accounts are created on the local computer. Files can be shared among multiple users of the same computer. In a network environment, files can be copied or moved to a folder on another computer. By default, the Shared Documents folder is automatically shared and made accessible to all other computers on the network. If you do not want this feature, you can disable the Shared Documents folder by following this guide…
