Shared folder for new user on Office 2007

Hi, We have a new staff member and I set up a new use account for her. She needs to be able to access the shared documents file which appears both on the desktop and in the tool bar at the bottom in all the other accounts, but I don't know how to make that available for her - can anyone help? Many thanks! S

Hello, you didn't say what operating system you have but here's how you might do it in Windows XP. Go into Windows Explorer and find the 'Shared Documents' folder. Right-click on it and then on the menu that pops up, go to <Send to> & <Desktop>

Now you should see a shorcut on your desktop. If you also want it on the taskbar then hold down the <Ctrl> key and drag the shortcut onto your taskbar.
