Thanks for the response, Leslie. I actually did know about the password 
option, but on the screen for setting the password it warns that this 
process will eliminate (or change?) any passwords which have been set up on 
other programs/websites, etc.  We have a lot of different passwords set up, 
and I didn't want to have to deal with changing all of those, so was hoping 
there was a simpler option of just removing the visible "door" to each of 
our personal accounts.  Looks like I'll just have to disconnect the system 
so it can't be run at all.  I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Boy don't I wish this had existed years ago when my father used to
come over and "re-organize" my computer. My brother used to call me
after a mutual visit and say "how bad did he mess up YOUR computer?"

Simply, no you can't restrict the Guest from seeing that there are
other accounts on the computer. However, you can password protect
your other accounts so that the guest cannot get into them or see
what data they contain (unless the data has been shared). If the
Guest account is enabled it is a LIMITED account. Users who log on
to the computer using the guest account do not have access to
password-protected files, folders, or settings.
