I have a number of computers at home, and they are not joined in a domain. Now, on my machine, say I have shared a folder, ie Anton_Shared. My machine has, for example, 2 account (besides the default Administrator and Guest) : Anton, and TestUser. I have given Everyone full access to the share (I believe Everyone actually means Everyone On This Machine).
Now, I login to our Media Center machine. It has a completely different account. Now, in order to access the Anton_Shared on my machine, I am forced to type a username that is available on my machine (ie. Anton), and its password.
The question is whether it is possible to allow _absolutely anyone_ to access the shared folder. ie, no authentication required.
If it matters, both machines are running Vista, but I want the same functionality available from other machines, which may run XP or Win2K3 (doubt I will have anything else at home).
Is this somehow possible from Windows? How?
Thanks in advance.
