Guest Kris C. Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I'm allowing my 8 year old niece to use the guest account on my computer, but every time she tries listening to music or something, no sound comes out. It will play system sounds, but that's it. Any idea what I can do?
Guest N1K Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 RE: Sound on guest account I'm not sure why is this happening. Have you tried to give here user permission since he couldn't do any damage using that account. -- MCSA, MCDST, MCP Systems Specialist http://www.wincert.net "Kris C." wrote: > I'm allowing my 8 year old niece to use the guest account on my computer, but > every time she tries listening to music or something, no sound comes out.

Create a Limited User account and call it "visitor" or some such.....MS Baseline Security advisor advises to turn OFF the guest account as it's a security risk....
Guest Kris C. Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Sound on guest account oK. Thank you. I'll do that and name it Guest that way she can't ask for a password. That's the main thing, we don't want her to have a password because of her age "Gordon" wrote: > "Kris C." <KrisC@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:A3F2926F-1CE3-45EC-8485-B6F7783155E2@microsoft.com... > > I'm allowing my 8 year old niece to use the guest account on my computer, > > Don't.

That's a built-in/reserved name. Call it 'Visitor' or something, as suggested. You don't have to put a password on it...unless you've done something via policies to require passwords on all accounts (which seems unlikely). > "Gordon" wrote: > >> "Kris C." <KrisC@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:A3F2926F-1CE3-45EC-8485-B6F7783155E2@microsoft.com... >>> I'm allowing my 8 year old niece to use the guest account on my >>> computer, >> >> Don't.

Guest Kris C. Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Sound on guest account I know. I named it Guest. (note the period at the end) and since she's not that observant, she hasn't noticed it. Thanks!
