Help us help you:
http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

If you want to have an account for friends who visit, make a new user
account and call it something like "Visitor".

If you want more help, please go to the link above and see what details
you need to include in your next post.

Boot: Original root Bootstap. As in to pull ones self by your bootstraps.

An old miner 49er term that means to start over after being reduced to
nothing.

Current usage: Boot = to start a computer from a powed off state. (some
geeks will call this the boot strap routine)

Question = Boot as guest = Invalid question = Probably ridicule.

Do you mean to log into a running computer as a guest account?

To make a guest account for you computer try using Google and the search
words windows xp create new account guest .

The first link should be
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/getstarted/configaccount.mspx

followed by a lot of other useful links.

by default,there is built-in user named "guest",u dont have to create another
user.all what u need is to turn this user on, do the following:

open "control panel"
open "user accounts"
u will find a user named "guest"
click on it
choose :
"turn on the guest account"

You should not use the built-in guest account. Even the Microsoft Baseline
Security Advisor says it is a security risk. Create a new Limited User
account, and call it "visitor" or something similar.
