Just as I suspected from the last time I tried to
avoid SHARE security, this still triggers credentials
prompts in Windows XP (though it doesn't much care
what credentials you provide).

It seems the simplest fix is to go ahead and switch
to user security and put in a startup .bat file
to do a "net use" command with the user and password
built into it (thus providing the exact same level
of security as user SHARE provided, only being forced
to go over the river and through the woods to achieve
the same thing).

This has the additional advantage of fixing a
separate problem where Windows is too stupid to
wait for the network to be up before trying to
attach network shares. I can use a "ping" of
a nonexistant IP address to add a delay before
the net use.
