Problem with XP guest account

I am trying to set up the Guest account on my PC so my sister can use my machine (its faster than the family PC). But just trying something out right now im running into an issue.
I would like it where I can stay logged in, and I say 'Log Off', 'Switch User' from MY desktop, then i go back to the login GUI. When I click Guest, it looks like its going in, then it kicks back out to the login again.

What gives?

Some things I could think that MIGHT affect it is that im using TweakXP to disable my having to enter a password when i log in to my account, but i dont see how that'd affect the guest account.

Is it not possible for ME to stay logged in on my account and re-logon as a GUEST, forcing me to create a full-blown USER?
I want to keep it simple with a guest account, because if its a user then I have to disable XP kicking back to the login screen when I go idle, and I dont remember how to do that...

thanks for your help guys!

[btw, is it possible for certain folders to become 'hidden' under specific user accounts? 😉 ya'll know...]
 
ok now my issue is that when i try to log onto the Guest or my sisters account I created, it says it couldnt load the profile and some files that it needs, and displays a little countdown til it kicks me back to the logon. I can only log on mine!!
