OK, I got this back door taken care of, and I have this
new folder so that when one of the kids is working, the
other can work on the paper, and vice versa. My whole
problem is "WHY" What part of "Shared Documents" did I
misunderstanding? Apparetly by default, one Limited user
creates a document in the "Shared Documents", now any
other limited user can read it, but cannot write to it.
Blows my mind. Looks like Microsoft needs another folder
called "Really Shared Documents"
