Guest account

[Guest]

I activated then de-activated the guest account on XP Home. Now that it is
de-activated, I cant access the shared folders via a home network. I get a
Win Login pop-up asking for the guest account password.
How do I fix this???

I take it you mean the 'real' guest account, not the one on the Welcome
screen?

Running 'Control usserpasswords2' wil give you access to user and group
properties. However you shouldn't really tinker around with permissions on XP
home, if you do you may find that networking is broken, and even undoing your
changes may not correct it.

You can set a guest password, (unoffically) that works OK, and will make the
shares a lot more secure.

Apologies, keybounce. Must ditch this old keyboard, like me it's getting a
bit past-it.

Run 'Control userpasswords2'
