Hi,

I have backed up some of my files to my wifes XP machine and now at
startup it shows a guest account, how do I delete the guest account so
that it will go straight into startup?

Thanks

Gerald
 
Hi,

You don't delete it, you disable it. Check the Control Panel/Users applet.

Yes you can disable the guest account, but you shouldn't. You need it.
"The Guest account in Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP
Professional (when not joined on a domain) serves several special
functions that relate to security and network shares. Because of its
importance, you must not disable the Guest account. If you disable the
Guest account, your network can have problems that include malfunctioned
shares."
