You need to use the Administrator account not the guest account.

When i go to start/run and type in runas mmc (just that and nothing else) 
the
screen flickers the box but I do not get an empty MMC window.  When I put in
the rest of the command line from your message saying log in as guest etc. I
get the runas.exe box with it looking for a password for administrator.
But if I just hit enter it opens up the console like I described in my
previous post.
I also looked at KB271135 and went to
regedit:HKEY_Current_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft but that is as far as 
I
got there.  My directory does not show the \MMC.  My directory shows \System
Directory ans the next entry.
Does this seem right?
