I've just changed from Win2k Pro to WinXP Pro...

Under the Documents & Settings folder, I've noticed 2 folders called LocalService and NetworkService. What are these 2 folders for?

The next thing I've noticed is the "Shared folders" under "All Users". Is this just a way for the Administrator to put documents that every other user can see? I've noticed that the 1st Administrator account can look at any other users folders. Other administrator accounts cannot look at other peoples folders. They can only see their folders and whatever is in the "shared documents" folder.

Can I turn off the Shared Documents thing?

I guess I'm just trying to find out what all the folders are for.

This is pretty annoying...

So when you first install windows xp, it automatically creates an administrator account.

When you create the first user account in XP, the new account has more access rights than the original Administrator account?
