Default Unable to create 'Guest' account

The Guest account is used for many things, such as simple file sharing
between computers where name/password access is neither required nor
desired. A bit of research will show you other reasons it exists.

Thanks for the response.

I thought 'Guest' implicates for a person who needs temporary e-mail and
ms.group to read. However, I see it now as reading your response.

Wonder what purpose 'Guest' account for?

Any idea?

Hi:
By using 'Guest' account, I attempted to create another, a brand new
account
for my cousin who may need e-mail box when she stays with me at X-mas
time.

After having created both Mail and MS Newsgroup, a rectangular box
popping
up in the middle of the screen, ....
"Server NOT found, .... "

I am unable to upload any for this, Guest Account although I did
'turn-on'
button by accessing Administrator which is mine.

What went wrong with this?

I did every possible way to succeed in creating 'Guest' account, but
it's
still the same, .... keep popping-up 'warning' box.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,


Hi MapleE,

I would create a Standard account for your cousin instead. It should
work without any problems. The Guest account has to many restrictions
for what you are wanting.
