I need to share a folder on a win2k server, but i do not
wish to setup new user accounts for other computers to
access the file. How do I setup a simple file sharing on
this server that allow any computer on the network to view
the file without logging through network or windows? TNX
 
Don't do this at the root level of a drive, especially
C:. It could give any anonymous user access to the entire
drive.

Locate the folder you want to share, assign Full Rights
under the Share tab to (remove other user entries):
Everyone (Group)
ANONYMOUS LOGON (Group)

Under the security tab, remove the checkmark for "Inherit
rights" (not quite sure on this, I don't have a Win2k
machine in front of me) and assign the same Full Access to:
Everyone (Group)
ANONYMOUS LOGON (Group)

I have noticed if a user is logged on their workstation as
say JDOE and a JDOE user is set up on the server in
question, you might run into problems.
