This might sound like a crazy question but I cannot seem
to figure this out. How do users log in as the Guest
account in Windows XP?

I got a computer running XP Home and another one running
XP Professional.

Don't bother with the guest account - it's so limited as to be unusable.
Create a User account called "Visitors" (or whatever), make it a Limited
Account, and use that for your guests.

You need to enable it first.

Go to control panel | User Accounts

and torwards the bottom you should see a link called guest, and probably
text underneath saying the guest account is turned off. Click on it to turn
the guest account on

and if i may add, you can't access the net with the guest account. the
visitors account with limited access would be better.
