Can the "guest" user login via RDP in Windows XP?
Solution 1
I just found the answer here
To add users to the Remote Desktop Users group
Open Computer Management.
In the console tree, click the Local Users and Groups node.
In the details pane, double-click the Groups folder.
Double-click Remote Desktop Users, and then click Add....
On the Select Users dialog box, click Locations... to specify the search location.
Click Object Types... to specify the types of objects you want to search for.
Type the name you want to add in the Enter the object names to select (examples): box.
Click Check Names.
When the name is located, click OK.
Solution 2
Yes. Add Guest to the Remote Desktop Users group.
Here's a guide with pictures.
