You're right: XP Home Edition doesn't have the facility for setting
local security policy. Here's how to get around that and fix the
problem:
1. Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools
from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544 .
2. Click Start > All Programs > Windows Resource Kit Tools > Command
Shell.
3. Type these lines exactly as shown (they're case-sensitive) at the
command prompt:
net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
