Hi Toby,

Thanks. However, I don't see a guest account in Vista.

That is strange. I just went into my user accounts and guest is listed but turned off (by default).

Hi Jason - I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm using the RC2 version of Vista.

try typing in the start menu

control user passwords2

this should bring up the advanced control panel, do you see the user there?

I don't think there should be a space between 'user' and 'passwords2'.
