    I am sure people have asked this a million times, but i have been unable to find a clear answer.
    I took advantage of the trial download of Windows server 2008 R2 and installed it for my small home network. Now i want to make some network drives, but i don't want to send a username. Basically, i want this share to be wide open, to anyone who will be on my network.
    For some reason though, i cannot get this to work.

    I have added the anonymous user as everyone policy and have tried to add the shares to the list of shares, that allows anonymous. I'm not sure it is correct though.
    How do i define the shares in the list?
    I have a share called Files which is located at d:\files\
    But what do i add to the list? Just Files or D:\files or \\servername\files or something else?
