how did guest get back into all of my databases?

i clearly remember deleting the guest user from all of my sql2000
databases a couple of years ago.
the guest user is now back in all of my databases on all of my servers
and i can't tell when or where it came from.
at first, i thought sp4 might have done it, but i've still got one
server running sp3 that also has the guest user in all databases.
i guess the next logical guess might be the hotfix that got you to
version 818.
anybody know if there was actually a patch or service pack (either db or
operating system) that re-added the guest user to each database?
i feel sort of silly because it's apparently been there for months and
i'm just now noticing it.Is the 'guest' user actually enabled? You should always have a row for
'guest' user in sysusers in all databases but the 'guest' user is enabled
only if it is listed when you execute sp_helpuser.
Hope this helps.
