Re: Windows File Sharing: Facing The Mystery
said by bcastner  :This has nothing to do with whether the "Guest" account is enabled, but Group Guest. Your decision to enable the Guest account is a decision about a local console logon, not remote access. I assume you mean the group "Guests" (plural), right? The distinction being that both are "well known" SIDs, where "Guest" has an RID of 501 and "Guests" has an RID of 514.
Also, aren't there two "types" of disabling for the Guest account in XP? One from the "User Accounts" control panel applet and the other being the way that accounts have always been enabled/disabled in NT? (viz: "net user Guest active:no")
