For the first time I decided to activate the Guest User logon. Here's what's
happening. Word will not install at all. I get repeated error messages
regarding the Office Source Engine. I've spent many hours trying different
fixes, including reinstalling Word.
However, though Works appears to install under Guest User, when I try to
perform any routine functions (save, delete, etc.) I get messages that
"Works cannot complete the task," and "Works cannot install."
The only application that seems to work under the Guest User logon is
Encarta.
The problem is apparently not with Word or Works, both of which function
perfectly under the Owner logon.
What can I do to enable a guest user to use Word and Works?

Have you tried looking in Local Computer Config. Go to Start>Run type:
gpedit.msc

Why you need to activate the Guest User logon for its have no Admit Rights
it just for Guest to Play Games read E-Mails..
you are Crying about giving up Admit Rights
You Need to Make a New USER >> with a Password so you can give up same
Right to but not all
So that a USER can do WORD AND WORK
and all the error will go away
I Have 3 Users
1 for Wife
1 for me with all Admit Rights
1 for Son with no Rights at all LOOL

I'm sure you meant to be helpful, but if I "look in" Local Computer Config,
what will I expect to see--and what should I do once there?

I don't understand what you're telling me. Are you trying to help or just
being nasty?
All the Help files and Windows xp books clearly say that a Guest user should
be able to use all applications installed by Windows.
Why all are accessible except Word and Works is what puzzles me.
I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the fact that I checked
the box to "make my folders secure." Both these apps create and save
documents, some of which are, of course, in "secure" folders.
I can't think of any other possibilities.

I'm running Windows XP Home. I suspect that the "group edit" function is not
available in this version of Windows.
Here's my frustration: All the books and Windows Help resources tell me that
Guest users should be able to use all programs installed by Windows.
If I were told authoritatively that Word and Works are "exceptions" and that
I should not expect them to work, I'd be OK with that. Windows does have a
serviceable word processor (Wordpad) that a guest could use.
When I run Works in the Guest user account, it loads and creates documents,
but when I try to save, I get error messages such as "Works cannot complete
this task," "Works cannot install," and "Try reloading Windows or Check your
hard drive."
Word will not install, the message here being that it cannot access the
Office Source Engine. I know the OSE is where it's supposed to be. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled Word and even run Word "repair." It runs
smoothly, indicating that, at least from the Owner logon, it can access the
OSE.
So the "problem" is not with Word but with Windows.
Windows XP Inside Out by Ed Bott instructs me to check the box "Make my
folders private," without suggesting that doing so might make Word unuseable
to the Guest user. Is it possible that had I not checked that box, these
applications would run successfully? I am at a loss.
