I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed. I want to give access of a specific folder of my administrator account to a guest user. How can i do that? eg. take folder as ~/Videos. So that if anybody log-in as a guest user can watch at least movies. All ideas are welcome.

Guest users are denied access per design to home directories of ordinary users. It's controlled via App Armor.
My recommendation, if you have a bunch of files that you want your guest users to access, is that you copy (or move) them to somewhere outside of /home
, e.g. /var/local/videos
.

@Charo: No, the guest session feature has worked that way all since it was introduced, first in the gdm-guest-session package, and later in lightdm. help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-guest-session.html Jun 28, 2014 at 22:15
