Changing the Display Name on Guest Account

[Guest]

Is there a way I can change the display name on the guest account to something else? Like my cat's name or something?

I know it's possible to change the display name on the various accounts on XP without messing anything up, but it does not seem to be an option to change the name on the guest account. I searched the registry for "guest" but didn't see anything promising.

I'd probably be satisfied creating a separate account with guest priviliges, as that would accomplish the same thing. But I can't seem to do that either... :-(

If anyone would know the answer to this, it would be the people monitoring these forums. You guys are great!

Trust me, you don't want to let your cat get on your computer. Cats will
eat the mouse. Hello.

Right click My Computer and go to Manage.
Then go to the users tab.

Disable the guest account if you want, and then make a new
one if you have problems renaming it.
