windows XP Home - logged on as "guest".
If I open "My computer" or "My documents", I get a popup window from
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library with a runtime-error message on
c:\windows\explore.exe
Same problem opening Internet Explorer (error on iexplore.exe).
If I give the guest-account administrator-rights the problems disappear - if
I limit its rights, the problems reappear.

Any suggestion ?

Look at NTFS permisions for those folders. You'll have to uncheck Use
Simple File Sharing in Folder Options before you can see the Permissions
tab in the folder Properites, though.
