The Guest account appears on the user logon menu on the start screen, even though the 'Manage Accounts' screen says that guest account is off.
I have tried such simple fixes as turning the guest on and then back off, with and without a reboot in between, but it won't go away.
I found another thread that addresses this, but the fix did not work for me because of access problems (see below).

I am just a user, so this is surely user error or user ignorance. Please take pity and help anyway? details below:
Based on the thread above, here is what I tried last:
On command prompt, I entered: net user guest

C:\Users\citronpresse52>net user guest

The command completed successfully.
On the command prompt I entered: net user guest /active:no
C:\Users\citronpresse52>net user guest /active:no
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
I also tried this from C:\, same response.
Please advise next steps, very much appreciated.
