    It should be possible if you really want to do it with the guest account
    enabled. The share would need everyone permissions and the guest account
    might need to have a password if I remember correctly though the users will
    not be asked for the password. You may also need to tweak your security
    settings for anonymous access including the option to include anonymous in
    the everyone group. The user right for access this computer from the
    network for that server would also need to include the everyone group. ---
