Hi Yusuf,
Yes, you can. All you need to do, is to select My Documents, hit Alt Enter,
select the sharing tab, allow it to be shared over the network, and give it
a share name. This is My Documents by default. Accept this.
Now when you OK out of that properties box, you can refer to your machine
over the network like this:-
\\machinename\my documents
Where Machinename is the name of your machine on the network.
You can share any folder on your system in this fashion, even system
folders. I would not recommend this, but you can do it.
All the best

I don't think you can change any setting to allow access of my documents
over a network. You can allow access to folders within my documents though.
