I am attempting to set up the Guest account for an amatuer radio outing planned for the end of June. When I start the installed programs using the guest account, before the desired program starts, I get 3 messages pertaining to installing Microsoft Office SR-1 which is not even on the guest account, nor do I wish it to be. I thought it might be because I had an Outlook icon on the guest account, but I got rid of that and still, the thing wants to install Office in spite of everything I have done so far. Any help would be appreciated

Not sure, but I recommend that you leave guest disabled, and set up a
limited user account instead. Enabling guest can be a security hole....

Agreed
disable the guest account and change the password to something random (the longer the better)

then set up a new account
