sorry, didn't mean to double post. Had browser issues.
 
Out of curiosity... why do you want to enable the guest account? If you have an "always on" Internet connection, you are inviting potential hackers into your computer. If you want someone to be able to use it, I would rather recommend creating a special account just for them. Just a heads up. ;-)

It is just for a temporary access to my computer - for a network gaming-and-filesharing session. In about 4 hours i'll disable the account again ;-)
But thanks for yout concern.
