the files are not in anyones specific profile, they are in
the shared documents folder so that anyone can access them
from the central folder. But even if the files/folders
were just in someones profile, or if they are in a shared
documents folder like they are now, shouldnt the
administrator account be able to allow/disallow security
privlidges. ive made it so that some accounts have access
to some of the files in the shared documents folder, and
that works fine unless one of the other user accounts goes
in and changed the ownership and begins to modify stuff.
