Yes,

If you are a member of System Administrators role, you can access MY Folders content of all the users.

Go to , Tools --> directory --> <Name space>--> <user ID>

you can copy the content and bring it to Public folders area, in case if you wanted to migrate it to another environment (for ex pre prod to prod).

Regards,
Kommireddy.

Have you had a look at MetaManager, a Powered by Cognos solution that streamlines and automates the Administration process within a Cognos deployment?  With the various modules of MetaManager, not only can you see the contents of My Folders for any user, but you can see it very easily in a tree structure representing the content store. 

For example, via the Backup Restore Module...

Have a look at this (and the other 8 modules) in the Powered by Cognos section of COGNOiSe at http://www.cognoise.com/community/index.php?topic=3008.0.  You can also see a recording of the product at http://www.bspsoftware.com/videoRequest/index.php.
