Default Unable to create 'Guest' account

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 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.

MapleE,

Here's Microsoft's definition of a Guest account.

'Windows Vista Help: What is a guest account?'
(http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...41c391033.mspx)

I just find it to restricted to be very useful for much, IMO. You can
always delete the Standard account for your cousin when done with it.
