No, that was never the situation. It's just the data--the contents of
the files--not the file system, that's moved over the network, and the
file system on the other end doesn't matter at all

Realize that every time you download a file on the internet, you are
doing essentially the same thing--moving a file's contents from one
computer to another--as on your local network. You normally have no
idea what the file system on the other end is, and it doesn't matter.



so
I'm use to doing everything in FAT 32. I have PM 8 and can convert the
3-computers to NTFS but I need to be able to share some folders across the
network.

Running WindowsXP Pro on FAT 32
During setup, I mistakenly set it up so that all users can see each
others documents (My Documents).
Is there anyway to changes this so that only the person that is logged on
can see there's only?
System is set up with 4-users.
Thanks



Not with FAT32 AFAIK - why did you not use NTFS?
