Assign a network password to XP's built-in "Guest" account. When
other people try to access your computer, they'll be prompted to
enter the password:
1. Click Start | Run.
2. Type "control userpasswords2" in the box and click OK.
3. Under "Users for this computer", click Guest.
4. Click Reset Password, enter a password, and click OK.
