For as long as I’ve been using my Windows 7 computer to share media for watching on my TV through the PS3, I’ve been annoyed at the fact that the computer’s Guest account has it’s own set of folders and shows up as a separate media server on the network. There’s nothing in it. It’s just annoying.

So here’s how to stop it.

1. Stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

2. You need admin access for this step to get access to the folder. Delete the folder “Media Player” in c:\users\guest\appdata\local\microsoft

3. Restart the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service (or just reboot).

Done. Gone.
