Anonymous Windows XP filesharing (non-simple)

Hello,

I am having some issues with windows XP's advanced file sharing (simple file sharing disabled). Everything works fine if the user has an account on the machine, but I have not been able to make anonymous filesharing work. A user whose local username is not a valid user on the remote machine in question is supplied with a login prompt, instead of being mapped to anonymous (and presumably given access to shares where "Everyone" has some access rights). Is there a way to fix this (without disabling advanced filesharing, and preferably without enabling the guest account)?

Thanks.
 
I'm not 100% sure, but if you take a look at you Local Security Policy, if you set "Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" to Enabled, it may give you what you're looking for.
 
This always breaks for me. I don't like to give people accounts onto my machine with the standard 'user' group because then they can log onto my machine.

I create a new group called 'network users' and add new users to that group. Then for shares I set them to 'everyone'. Works great. But still...not exactly what you asked for.
