  1. Access to C: and related tasks denied due to conflicts between Admn and guest accounts


    I use Windows 7 Ultimate in one of my personal laptops, which I use rarely. Recently I created a guest account during which the system warned me of conflicts on permissions between Admn and guest accounts. I overlooked it and still created the guest account. Now I am unable to access C: and perform any tssks that require access to C:. How to fix this, please?

    :)

    Windows 10 - Guest account related

    I had the same problem, and, in another post on the subject, it was suggested that this was due to an explorer.exe crash/reload loop.

    I activated the in-built Guest account August 01, 2015, by following the
    howto-connect.com
    instructions (net user guest /active:yes
    from an elevated command prompt (right-click Start/Windows button and select Command Prompt (Admin)). Guest then appeared in the list of available accounts on the lock screen.

    I have, in the past couple of days, activated the Guest account on two more Win 10 PCs. The command line echoed that this had succeeded, and Guest appears, as one of the alternatives, when I click on my account name at the top of the Start Menu, but when
    I select it, instead of switching to the Guest account which is not password protected, it takes me to the lock screen, where Guest is no longer shown.

    Microsoft appear to be suppressing the Guest account, for reasons that I/we do not know. We should be told.
