Joyel and Susy share a Windows 10 tablet but sign in with different standard user accounts. Joyel needs to open some files that are stored in Susy's Documents folder under her user profile. Under normal Windows security, how can Joyel gain access to these files?

Introduction / Context:
Windows 10 uses user profiles to separate data and settings for different users on the same device. Each user typically has a private Documents folder that other standard users cannot access by default. This question examines how file permissions and sharing work between user accounts on a shared Windows 10 tablet and what must be done to allow one user to access another user's documents.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Both Joyel and Susy sign in with separate user accounts on the same Windows 10 tablet.
• The files Joyel needs are stored in Susy's Documents folder within her profile.
• The accounts are standard user accounts, not necessarily administrators.
• We are considering the default Windows security behavior without advanced domain policies.

Concept / Approach:
By default, the NTFS permissions on a user's profile folders such as Documents grant access to that user and to administrators, but they do not grant access to other standard users. To share files between accounts, the owner can move or copy the files to a location that is shared (such as the Public folders) or explicitly adjust permissions or sharing settings to allow another user account to read or modify the files. The key idea is that the owner must take action to share; other users cannot simply browse into another user's private documents.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Recognize that Susy's Documents folder is part of her private user profile and is protected from access by other standard users. 2. Understand that Joyel, using his own standard account, will receive an Access denied message if he tries to open Susy's Documents folder directly. 3. To allow access, Susy must either move the required files to a shared location (for example, the Public Documents folder) or modify the folder or file permissions to grant Joyel's account read or modify rights. 4. This can be done through the Sharing or Security tabs in File Explorer, depending on whether the intent is network sharing or local permission changes. 5. Therefore, the correct answer describes Susy choosing to make the documents public or explicitly shared so that Joyel can see them.

Verification / Alternative check:
On a real Windows 10 system, if you log in as User A and try to browse C:\\Users\\UserB\\Documents, you will normally be blocked unless you are an administrator and take ownership or adjust ACLs. However, if User B moves a file into C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents or grants read permission to User A, then User A can open the file. This matches the explanation that the owner must opt in to sharing.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option a is misleading. Even administrators do not automatically browse other users' Documents without permission prompts; they may need to take ownership, and the scenario focuses on normal sharing, not administrative override. Option c is incorrect because Windows 10 explicitly isolates each user's profile; other documents are not visible by default. Option d overstates the restriction; Windows does allow sharing through public folders or adjusted permissions, so access is possible if Susy changes the settings.

Common Pitfalls:
A common misunderstanding is to assume that all users on a local computer see the same documents. In reality, each profile has its own private storage. Another pitfall is thinking that simply being on the same device automatically implies sharing. Users should be aware of the Public folders and basic permission settings when they need to share files with family members or colleagues on a shared computer.

Final Answer:
Susy must modify the sharing or security settings so that her Documents folder or the required files are made public or explicitly shared with Joyel's account before he can access them.
