Is it possible to access a shared folder without having a user account
on the PC, like you could with XP?

I thought I had cracked this by turning off passwords, but the email I
sent myself (!) said:

I have given you permission to access some of my files from any
computer on this network. You can access them by clicking the link(s)
below. To access these shared files you must have a user account and
password for the computer ...
 
Yes-- Change the access to shared resources in Network & Sharing Center. You
can allow anyone on your network or your computer to share files from there
by turning on Public Folder Sharing and turning Password Protected Sharing
off.
 
Yes-- Change the access to shared resources in Network & Sharing Center. You
can allow anyone on your network or your computer to share files from there
by turning on Public Folder Sharing
Click to expand...

I may have misunderstood, but will this not just allow sharing of the
Public Folder? I want to share a normal one.
