Shared Documents Folder in Windows 7
Shared Documents Folder in Windows 7
Instead of the Shared Documents folder, Windows 7 provides the Public folder. As Figure 1 shows, you can access the Public folder from Windows Explorer.

1. Click here to open the Public folder.
If you use the Public folder, you should remember one important change from XP. Not only the files contained in the Public folder is open to other user accounts on the same computer, but now by default, access is open to other computers on any networks you may connect to.
Windows 7 does, however, have a security measure in place, which alerts you to categorize the reliability of the networks you connect to. This assists to prevent unauthorized access of your documents when on public and other un-trusted networks.
