Re: guest account..

Since you have not mentioned any other information, here are some suggestions with some assumptions of your status...

1> If you are on the Internet, you should be running a firewall and an antivirus program, as well as spybot/spam filters to stop un-necessary access to your system. You can also try to disable the guest account, if any of the services you use don't need it.

2> If your question is related to local access and your computer is on the local area network, you should be using the net guest <password> and create a strong password for the account.
- secure the guest account with a strong password (including numbers,
capital letters, other characters and should be lengthier at least 10+
characters.
- Never leave the system open, always log off when you are away from the system.

3> If you are talking of just the stand alone access, Don't leave the system open
when you are away from the seat.

4> Ensure you are giving the right permission on the file share access. You should
not be leaving the files open to other users to read.
