Are you basically trying to do the below in reverse?

Have you tried it in Safe Mode?

1 In the Run box or at any command prompt, type %systemdrive%\documents and
settings.

2 Right-click the icon labeled with your user name, and choose Sharing And
Security.

3 Under Local Sharing And Security, select the Make This Folder Private
check box, as shown in Figure 9-4.

4 Click OK to close the dialog box and apply your changes.

Hi,

no, I actually DON'T want to have the folder private !!! Right now it's
private, but I'd like to have the MY Documents folder "unprivate" !

I am using Advanced File Sharing, and there is no such thing like " Make
this folder privat" checkbox.........

Thanks for helping !

Tom
