Hope this is the correct group.

I set up a password on my main admin account on XP home. During
the process it asks if I want to make My Documents private so others
users can't access them.
I clicked 'YES' to make them private. I now need My Documents not to be
private.
Is there a way to make the folder useable for others without dragging the
folder to the shared documents folder.

You should be able to simply right click in the My Documents folder, select
Sharing from the menu, and remove the check mark from the box next to "Make this
folder private".

If this option is for some reason grayed out, take a look at this web site for
more information.

Keep in mind that since you're using XP Home Edition, you'll have to boot into
Safe Mode to make the changes. To boot into Safe Mode, restart your computer and
keep hitting the F8 key until you see a menu displayed. Use the arrow keys to
select Safe Mode and hit the Enter key.

Good luck
