This error also applies for previous versions of windows, but its the first time i saw it since i became a beta tester for Windows 7
The problem is that there is a local policy blocking all in the guest account to access the computers share.
(seeing that the guest account is allready active)
but what i did to edit the policy;
1- Make sure the guest account is enabled
:Right click My Computer
->Manage
-> Local users and groups
-> UsersRight click on the account “guest” and select properties
->Make sure the box “Account is Disabled” is NOT checked. 2 Set correct local security policy:Start the “local security policy” console. (Under Administratove Tools, in the control panel)
->Go to: Local Policies
-> User right assignements
->Go to item 13: “Deny access to this computer from the network”.
->Right click it and go to Properties
->Remove the “Guest” account from the list, and OK
->Go next to to item 1: “Access this computer from the network”
->Right click it and go to Properties
->Add the “Guest” account to the list and OK.
