Hi, User accounts are independent of each other. Even as an Admin, you do not have permission to go inside the user account of another user on your computer, unless you mess with file permissions, which is not recommended. You can have User A put files into the Shared folder and then you'd have access to them from both accounts, or log in as root which will give you access to anything and everything, which has its own set of cautions.
HTH. Later...

What I now wish to change user A from an admin to a non admin account. I know how to do this. My question is . After changing to the non admin account will I be able to see all the files belonging to account A from the new admin account? My reason for wanting to do this is because I wish to run the Mac from a non admin account. Security wise this is much safer. You may have read about a venerability that has been discovered on the Mac when the Mac awakes from sleep mode if you have visited a site that gave you some Trojan either via flash or some downloaded file access to the Mac is possible. If you don’t run with admin credentials apparently you are safe. Running as a non admin in Windows has been good practice for years. As always thanks for any advice.
