dc,

The Guest account does not have a "My Documents" folder
par-sa, basially for the duration of there login, i.e
when they are on, the My Documents is there for them to
use. However once the log off their profile is unloaded
and the My Documents folder is removed.

If you want guests to save there work suggest floppies,
or USB memeory sticks.

Hope this helps
