Unable to create 'Guest' account
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, |

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.

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. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * NEW!

'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.
