How do I set up guest accounts for sharing program folder information between a vista and windows 7 machines?

Hi, Do you mean that you want to share a program folder which you create yourself? Due to the Everyone group in Windows 7 does not include Guest account. Therefore please add Guest account into the permission list of the shared folders and give it proper permissions. You could refer to the following article: Set Permissions for Shared Folders Hope it helps.
