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

[Ariz Jacinto]

try setting the samba security as "share".

sometimes, setting the windows client via  control panel > admin tools >
local security policy >security settings > security options > Microsoft
Network client: Send unencrypted password to third-party SMB servers
to "Enabled"  might help.
