XP networking problem

[Max Stout]

When I was setting up my wireless home network one of the computers
did not have an Admin account with a password. It did however have a
Guest account with a password. This guest account is listed as a Built
in account and XP won't let me delete it.

Now none of the other computers can access the files on this computer
because Guest accounts can't grant access.

I have now password protected the Admin account & I tried setting up a
new Workgroup, with a different name for the entire network to get the
other computers stop "looking" at this guest account but it didn't
work.

Is there anyway to fix this problem, ideally I'd like to remove all
traces of the network and start again

Thanks in advance for any advice

Regards

I go into the device manager and uninstall the NIC, search for new
hardware, the device will configure fresh (WinXP wizard will start).
Use a new workgroup name. In a workgroup situation (where file
security is open to all) be sure "Use simple file sharing" is checked
in Tools, Folder Options, View.

Gotta go...

On all the computers in the network?
