In the paper you suggested, it has the following:
If the shared folder does not have the Guest or Everyone account in its list
of allowed users, shared folder access can fail even after prompting you for
the name of the Guest account. To correct this, add the Guest or Everyone
account to the list of allowed users on the share.
1) How do I add the Everyone account ? Is it like adding any other account
and calling it Everyone with Administrator privileges ?
2) When I go to the folder's Sharing and Security ==> Sharing, adding
permissions is not an option, i.e., no Permissions button. Any ideas ?
