everyone who uses your computer.
•When you make a folder private, all of its subfolders
are private as well. For example, when you make My
Documents private, you also make My Music and My Pictures
private. When you share a folder, you also share all
of its subfolders unless you make them private.

is not formatted as NTFS For information about converting
