Removing Guest Account?

It is possible to completely remove the guest account and files/folders from windows XP? I have no need for it, and don't want it around.. turning it off isn't quite enough!
To remove it so it no longer exsist? As you know you can disable it, you can say don't do this but to remove it all together is a different story. There might be a Reg. hack but I have not seen one.

You couldn't remove the guest account in NT so suspect you won't be able to in XP.
