Log into the administrator account open a dual panel file browser like total commander or something similar and start coping. I don't think the transfer/migration tool they give you in Win7 takes acct to acct transfers on the same system which is unfortunate. You can find a lot of great disk management tools at fileforum.com (some freeware.. some shareware.. some commercial demos but a nice assortment)

If I understand correctly the answer is; you don't need to copy or move, you just need to place all the files that you want to share in the "Public" folder of one of the users. By placing the files in "Public" folder, these files will be accessible from all the other user accounts. Here a quick link. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-vista/Sharing-files-with-the-Public-folder If you really want to copy the files to another location for all users, than the easiest way is first to put all your files in "Public" folder and than copy from there to the desired location.
