    right click on file or folder you want to share

    hover over "share with"

    click on "specific people"

    click the arrow to display users on computer and click the name(s) you want to share with

    click add

    then down arrow under permission level to choose if you want the user to be able to read/write and you can also remove the sharing of the file here.

    By default in Windows 7, a shared "public" folder has already been created for just what you're looking for.

    Within your LIBRARIES folder (where your documents are stored) you will see a "public" storage area that defaults to C:\Users\Public\Documents.

    Anything you save within this folder is automatically available to ALL logon accounts - no need to specify permissions, no extra steps.
