[SLL] get Windows Explorer to mount Samba share without username/password

I have a Samba setup with IP based access. It is guest share and I can 
connect to it fine from other systems using smbclient without using any 
username or password. (Even using a bogus username works.) It does this as 
"Anonymous".

Any ideas on how to connect from Windows side? The Windows Explorer tool 
to Map it always has a popup of username/password but no way to leave it 
blank.
