I've set myself up as a user, but at the moment, the documents in User "samhellea", are the same as in the default ("Damworthson"). I want to know, if I delete them out of "Damworthson", will they still be in "samhellea", and if I were to press the close button at the login prompt, would it show all the files, including those in "samhellea", and those in other user's areas?
