The correct answer to the following question will be "Guest account".

Explanation:

Windows Guest account is a standard, local client account, with quite limited authorizations. It can't access other user account libraries and user files. Only on the desktop and in its user folders can it create files-nowhere else in your PC can it create files and folders. The Guest account is a Windows minimum-privilege account that occurs on all Windows computers. Users who don't have a specified account are open, and need to access a Windows system from time to time. Users who log on to use the Guest account can access local data and applications, but can not install hardware or software.

Therefore, "Guest account" is the right answer.
