The Public Folder located in C:UsersPublic in Windows 7 is a great way to share files between users that have different accounts on the PC. While it is easy to setup other share folders, this default method of giving access to pictures, music, movies and documents is convenient and doesn’t require any additional configuration through different user accounts. All you need to do is drag and drop files into the Public share and it will be visible to other accounts on the PC.
How To Access The Public Folder in Windows 7
You can easily navigate to the Public share folder by going to Start, then Documents. In the Navigation pane, under Favorite Links, click Public. Keep in mind you can share any folder over the computer or on the network by right-clicking it and selecting “sharing.” The Public folder can be used for anything, but you may want to consider using other methods to share files over the network, as you may not want to give everyone on the network access to files in that folder.
