Public computer on local workgroup.
I have a Windows Vista Home Premium system on a peer to peer network with all
other WinXP machines. This computer is in an area where it is to be used as a guest computer. It is also used by users who need access to the local network. I have setup 4 profiles. 1 guest profile that does not require a password and 3 password protected profiles for other users. I need to keep the guest account off of the workgroup while allowing the other profiles access to the workgroup. I have tired changing workgroups in the guest account but that changes the entire computer to the other workgroup. Anyone know of a way to accomplish what I need to do?
