XP-Professional already has a guest account, so all you have to do is enable it.

From that ControlPanel/UserAccounts:
Click Advanced Tab
Click Advanced Button
Click Users in left panel.

In the right panel you should then see the "Guest" account with a red-X indicating it is disabled.

Right-click Guest Account and choose "Properties".
Un-check "Account is disabled".
