| | Guest Account Having a look through Belarc Advisor I see that Guest User has logged on 5 times - the latest being a couple of weeks ago. As I am the only person who uses this PC I wonder what is going on. Looking at Control Pannel\User Accounts\Manage Accounts shows Guest Turned Off - I've never changed this setting. I have a laptop networked to this PC - and looking there it also has a Guest Account - 38 logons - the latest this morning. This also shows as Turned Off. The laptop is a Compac. Both machines are Vista Home Premium. Can someone advise how this is happenning please? |

| | Re: Guest Account Hi, The Guest account is used for network sharing of files. If you are accessing shared files/folders on the system from another machine, this would account for what you are seeing. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Bill" <willy@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uuHB0NtCIHA.6012@xxxxxx Quote: > Having a look through Belarc Advisor I see that Guest User has logged on 5 > times - the latest being a couple of weeks ago.
