Give guest user access and rights to specific files

[DSP]

I recently decided to add user accounts to my home computer to provide extra
security when my roommate and/or their guest are using my computer. I have
Office Profession 2003 and I set up a guest account. I have admististrative
rights and the guest account has limited rights. I need to give them access
to a few specific files. I moved everything to one folder but they can not
open the documents with out seeing "Error 25090...tring to install". Then the
docs open in read only. I finally reinstalled office and moved the folder so
now the docs open but the guest can't modify, or delete anything. I want to
give permission to a specific folder. When looking in windows explorer,
should the files be under my C:drive? Under "all users" or under shared
folders"? Can they have limited rights to modify specific files without
total administrative rights?

When you say "guest" account, did you enable the built-in Guest account, or
did you set up a new standard account?
