I have a number of User Accounts on the same computer.

I am trying to allow the other Users access to my desktop and the items on it in.

To do this I did:
I selected Get Info for my desktop.
In Ownership & Permissions / Others I selected Read & Write.

But when I go to any of the other Accounts I am not able to access the desktop on my main account.

Anyone have any suggestions what I need to do to allow access?
 
Putting files in Users/Shared will allow anyone access to those files. You can even put apps in there if they are specific to a particular user, so that others can run the app (rarely necessary, but sometimes is). But I don't think there is any way to share access to your actual desktop other than just having YOUR account open.
