Open registry editor and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\Names, delete the Guest key and reboot your computer. You'll see the Guest account was deleted and you can't access it any longer.

Personally I suggest you make a restore point before deleting the guest account, in case you mess up the registry.
I also wanted to set up my family computer so that the Guest account could not be enabled. I was also working in Windows 7. The solution I went with, and I recommend this, is to do my own work on a standard (not administrator) account. That way, if some young mischievous person in my family tries to re-enable the guest account (if I have left my account open and have turned my back for a moment), he will be unsuccessful.
I created a special administrator account called uber-admin. But I don't use uber-admin for my day to day work. Then I made ALL family members' accounts (including my own) standard users.
This has worked well. The guest account has stayed de-activated.
Go to C:\Users and you'll see a folder named Guest. Right-click it and click Delete. Wait for it to be gone. Click Switch User and you'll see the Guest account is fully deleted.
