Hallo Ed & Robert
I am using Home Premium which might be a little different.
Nevertheless i succeeded to add the guestuser and give him full access.
Also the admin folder is added (user & document folder i didn't find).
The icals command didn't work but when using NET View \\vistanaam i see the
PC name on the other PC. Only when accing it i receive no acces permitted.

Further help is welcome, very frustating!!!

Regards
Huib
