RE: 2 basic questions...

Okay, I found out that I have to change the local security policy>security
options to Classic - Local users authenticate as themselves, but I don't see
any way to do this in Home ed., just Pro. Can I do this in Home? Also, when
I do thy to authenicate as Guest, I receieve a Logon failure: the user has
not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. The guest
account is enabled and can logon locally, just not over the network. This
seems like a policy issue, but I don't know how to change policies in Home
Ed, if it can even be done at all...

Please advise! Thanks!

Matt
