Allowing Anonymous/public access to a shared folder in w2k3

What are the permissions settings and security settings to allow anyone who is not a user of the system to access a shared folder in Win2k3?
 
To create a truly anonymous share that anyone can hit without any credentials at all:

Create a REG_MULTI_SZ value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Call it NullSessionShares and populate it with the name of the share you want to be anonymous

Then set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA!RestrictAnonymous to 0.

For Share and NTFS Permissions I'm a little rusty. I know we need guests but you may also need Anonymous logon or perhaps Everyone.


Please be aware that this is an obvious security risk. You have removed security completely from that share, and lowered security on the system as a whole.
