Vista - Disable FolderShare starting on Guest Account??

Disable FolderShare starting on Guest Account??

Ok - been using FolderShare for sometime now (can't live without it).
Here's my issue:

I've set-up a Guest account for my computer (for the kids) and FolderShare
attempts to start-up when logging on as Guest. Does anyone know how to
prevent that from occurring? (To be honest, I think one of the recent
updates started this as it wasn't an issue a while back).

If I enter credentials (like it asks), it also tells me that you can't use
FolderShare under the Guest account (that's good). The issue is that it
always brings up the warning message.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Vinny

Hi Vinny,

I'm glad to hear that you are finding FolderShare useful and thanks for your
feedback. This is a bug in the current version. Here's how you can fix your
Guest account:

1. Log-in as Guest
2. Run regedit
3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
4. Delete the FolderShare entry

Let me know if you find any problems.

Thanks,
Christoph
