I've had problems with windows not allowing some mods in the past, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1157129-am-i-doing-it-right/page__p__16952948__fromsearch__1#entry16952948, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1159935-need-help-again/page__p__17026393__fromsearch__1#entry17026393

So, my problem is my brother kept saving over my player, so I made a seperate user account. I couldn't get Oblivion to save to both our My Documents so I made it a public file, and now some mods won't work. So I'm wondering if I copy and paste all the files from the public file to My Documents, then delete the public file on each user account will that solve the problem? Oblivion is saved to
Libraries/Public Documents/Oblivion

I'd be moving it to

Libraries/My Documents/ My Games/ Oblivion

on each user.

Will this work?

Thanks

Edit, my game is patched and I'm using Windows 7

OK, so my computer was going really slowly so I had to delete the second user account, there is only mine again now. Unfortunatley, that meant I had to re-install oblivion to my documents. Now most of my mods won't work again, even though they used to work when they were saved there before? Please help this is really annoying.
