I find that windows does not like to share the root of the drive. Make a directory and share that, and put everything in sub directories of that share for organization.

This. On my NAS I have a single folder in the root called "Media" and then just a metric **** ton of subfolders for it.

I had to add anonymous logon with full control to get my share working at home. None of the pc's at home have passwords which caused my problems. ***This was on the root of the drive***

there is a good reason for not sharing the root of the drive.

you can turn off password protected file sharing in the advanced sharing settings on network and sharing center
