    How do I put a folder of my own into the Guest user account and make it the only folder available to view beyond those by default?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below in order to put a folder of your own to the guest account:

    • Select and copy the folder that you want to move to the Guest Account.
    • Follow the steps below and paste the folder so that you'll be able to view it in the Guest Account:
    • Press ‘Windows’ key on the keyboard.
    • In the search box, type ‘This PC, and press enter.
    • Now follow the path: Local Disk(CManaging access of program / folder on a second guest profile :)>>Users>>Guest Account.
    • And paste the folder which you wanted to move, in the Guest Account.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Managing access of program / folder on a second guest profile

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Managing access of program / folder on a second guest profile :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
