    User accounts/data blocked from other users?


    It appears my regular Windows 7 account (a "super admin" account) is blocked from other users. When I try to access the user files from another Windows 7 account, or from my Windows 8 side, it does not let me access the files. Is there a way around this? I'm guessing its some tiny setting or something I have missed or overlooked, but idk.

    Thanks :)

    Well I browse through the file systems, I go C:\Users\Tom but when I click "Tom" it says I do not have the right access for these files.
