[cvsnt] Windows "guest" account and impersonation

Hello,

I'm currently running a CVSNT server on Windows XP with impersonation enabled, and I've come across this problem: I can login into the cvs repository as "guest" and no password, even if the guest account is disabled. Since Microsoft decided to power their XP with the most retarded user management interface ever, I can't set a password on this account, nor delete it. I have to keep the cvs service open to the internet, but since it's a private project, I can't allow any kind of "guest" access into it. Is there any way to solve this, besides moving the repository to a linux machine or use an authentication scheme that does not involve impersonation?

Thank you for your time.
