Guest Account

[Bill]

Having a look through Belarc Advisor I see that Guest User has logged on 5
times - the latest being a couple of weeks ago. As I am the only person who
uses this PC I wonder what is going on.

Looking at Control Pannel\User Accounts\Manage Accounts shows Guest Turned
Off - I've never changed this setting.

I have a laptop networked to this PC - and looking there it also has a Guest
Account - 38 logons - the latest this morning. This also shows as Turned
Off. The laptop is a Compac.

Both machines are Vista Home Premium.

Can someone advise how this is happenning please?

Hi,

The Guest account is used for network sharing of files. If you are accessing
shared files/folders on the system from another machine, this would account
for what you are seeing.
