I dont fully understand how you have things set up.

I take it your coping the full users folder onto the thumb drive and then copying over to the other system.

Problem is you have the documents in the public folder, so when you copy it over it is going tot he public folder.

Instead just grab the critical notes folder off the thumb drive, then open your "My Documents" and paste them in there :wink:

I have done that.
I went to libraries, rt clicked documents and clicked properties. That allowed me to change "public" to "us" which is our acct.
However, the folder still sems to be joined to each account.

Does the word permissions have to do with this?

My intention and first question is to have the desktop behave as it did before and like the laptop =create a folder in just the admin. However, pasting or thumb drive, it still gets into the guestacct and if deleted there, gets dleted in the admin acct.

Shane:
Changing the properties of the location of my documents will work. But you have to still move the files out of the public folder. Changing the properties doesnt move the files :wink:

peterr:
Changing the path corrected the problem. I changed it from "public" to "us" by changing the path at libraries > clicking>properties and unchecking 'public' and checking "us" our acct name.

I wish to thank you very much for your kind attention to my problem.
Peter

Shane:
No problem bud :wink:
