Enable guest account.

[BoardBabe]

I've searched and read but there is soo much info, caan someone please break it down for me simply how to enable guest account so that LAN users can browse my files?

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\077 /ve /d "Active Guest Account" /f

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\077 /v 1 /d "net user guest /active:yes" /f

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx77 /ve /d "Active Guest Account" /f

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx77 /v 1 /d "net user guest /active:yes" /f

I tried this on Server 2003 and it would not work.

Can thiese two commands be put into a registry file that is the same thing?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx77]
@="Active Guest Account"
"1"="net user guest /active:yes"

I tried the command line commands and the registry script way - neither way worked

after a reboot. Why does the command go into the sub-key "077" ?

After further testing I found this to work:

ENABLE:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
@="Active Guest Account"
"1"="net user guest /active:yes"

DISABLE:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
@="Active Guest Account"
"1"="net user guest /active:no"
