Default Access to files between different users

In Windows Explorer, only a couple of us can share info. I would usually
drag and drop stuff from my folders to my hubby's/kid's folders, but some of
them won't let me. We are all admin, but mine is the main account. How do I
make it so that our files are available to each other? When one of us opens
explorer, there are the + signs next to a couple of our names, but not all of
them. I hope I've been clear enough in my explation.
Jenn.

Don't you have a "Shared Documents" folder? Everyone should have access to
that.

I suppose I could use the shared file. Just every time I move my music
around I have to go through all kinds of crap for itunes to find it again. I
used to be able to get into all of everyone's files though, and I don't like
that I can't get into my kids stuff. (Yes, I do have spyware, but I still
want access from my account to theirs)
Thanks
Jenn.
