What is a guest account?
Rating:
A guest account is a built-in user account supported by Windows XP. It allows a user to operate a computer in the same way as a user with a limited account operates a computer. With this account, a user can log on to a computer, browse the Internet, check e-mails, and use installed applications on the computer. A user with a guest account cannot install or remove programs as well as change the computer's settings in any way. This account can be enabled on stand-alone computers as well as on those running in workgroups or domains.
